Jack Kennedy was crowned the 2021 Quattro Group British Supersport Champion in fine style, with the Kawasaki rider taking the Sprint race victory by two seconds. Launching off the line, Kennedy was unchallenged on his way to the win, controlling the race from the front.
It was an intense battel behind him for the remaining podium positions though, as Bradley Perie, Ben Currie and Lee Johnston trading places throughout the 12 lap race. With all three riders taking turns to set the fastest lap, Perie was able to take second place in the closing stages and edge away from the pursuers.
Currie completed the podium in third, with Jamie Perrin the first of the GP2 machines, ahead of Nesbitt and Law.
