GN Notes: 163 leads away. 268 pulls off before the race start. 55 spins out in turn 2 in the early going. 216 lets 346 and 335 have it into turn 3. 127 joins in the fun next time around. 163 is left facing the wrong way on the exit of turn 4. The cars pass both sides at full racing speed. Caution to move Mark to safety. 120 heads the restart. 235, 463 and 138 all come to grief in turn 4 towards race end. 5 to go sees 212 gaining on 120. Soon after Danny is through and away to the win with another forceful drive. He was certainly not taking any prisoners today. That's it folks. I'll be back from Buxton đź‘Ť -

Final Focus: 163 leads away. A rollover from 168 in turn 4 before crossing the line at race start with 21 ending up on top brought out the reds.

Consolation Catch Up: 548 leads away. 163 takes an early lead. 338 spins out in turn 2 with 372 and 45 also involved. 335 collides with the stricken 338 in turn 2. Caution to remove the stranded Brocksopp car. 163 heads the restart. 138 is on a charge from the drop of the green. 502 bounces off the turn 3 fence and collects 446 in the process. 138 passes the race leading 127 car in spectacular fashion around the outside of turn 4. A lap down 548 gets in the way of 138 and finds himself propelled into the turn 1 fence. As the lap boards come out 16 is closing down the race leading 138 car. However, a last bender from Mat on Dave doesn't work out well. 138 ends up facing the wrong way with 16 trapped alongside him. Mat's attempt to make a move to get over the line are repelled by Dave who reverses with him to close his escape route. -
