Ben Currie extended his championship lead as he finally took his first win of the year in the Thruxton Sprint race.
After a dramatic last lap scrap, Currie – who led a significant amount of the race before dropping back to third two laps from home – took the win by 0.385secs from Luke Stapleford.
Astro JJR’s Jamie Perrin had led into the final lap but was passed by Stapleford, the pair swapping places another twice before Currie charged through into the final chicane and made the move stick to take victory, as Stapleford beat Perrin by 0.242secs for second place.
However, Perrin was later disqualified from the results on a technical infringement, moving team-mate and title hopeful Rhys Irwin up to third, as polesitter TJ Toms took fourth with Eunan McGlinchey fifth
Across in the GP2 class, Joe Collier’s Kramer took the honours as he finished 11th overall, while Cameron Fraser took second and Harry Rowings third.
