Nic Morley and Bradley Downton got through the destruction but on the approach to the chicane Downton was hit from behind by Ed Greenhalgh, thus spinning him into the wall and breaking his front wing. Unlike usual, Ed drove off. Brookfield led comfortably as the race settled down. Throughout the race, Ashley Blakeley, Ben Moody, Nic Morley and Jamie Taylor all got caught out by the barriers.
