GN Notes: H296 leads away. Caution immediately for chaos on the home straight with cars going every which way. The telehandlers are sure being kept busy this evening. 502 heads the restart. 268, 8 and 364 tangle on the exit of turn 4. 515 spins in turn 1. The 8 car does likewise in turn 4 a lap later. 97 is mesmerising to watch as he bludgeons his way through the field. H14 gets the full force of the Boss' front bumper and gets hammered into the turn 1 fence. Ricky takes a well deserved win by a fair margin. That's it from me folks. I'll be back from Buxton 👍

Final Focus: H90 leads away. H214 into the lead. 457 and H76 take a wild ride up the back straight fence and come to rest locked together in turn 3. H56 and 368 do likewise at the opposite end of the track. Caution for stranded cars. H214 heads the restart. 6 and 541 batttle through the turns with Pascal gaining the upper hand. A crash involving 78, H76, H311, 415 blocks the outside line of turn 1. 97 fires 55 into the pile bringing out the caution. H214 & H90 head the restart. H214 fires 540 into the turn 1 fence with a monster hit. 97 makes light work of the field and blasts his way past H410 and 212 to take a race winning lead. With the left rear brake disc glowing orange in the closing stages Ryan backs it off such was his big lead.

Consolation 2 Catch Up: 580 leads away. 499 and 45 collide in turn 1 with Nige hitting the fence. Another big pile up in the turn brings out the early caution. 515 & 5 retire with blown tyres. 345 is on the telehandler with the right rear wheel off. 499 heads the restart. 127, 166 and 289 end up in a heap on the exit of turn 2 bringing out the caution. 499 and 249 head the restart. Joff jumps the start into the lead with H61 closing in lap by lap. Koen is through with a big hit on Joff into turn 3. Joff tries to return the favour into turn 1 but is unable to close the gap. With H61 away and gone H124 is next to give the 249 a hit into turn 1 with a lap to go passing him up the inside. This time Joff is having none of it and lines him up entering turn 3 and fires him up the fence. A spectacular end to the race and the best move of the two days so far 👍

Consolation 1 Catch Up: H296 leads away. 211 rides up the back straight fence and slows 555 who is close behind. 78 is taking no prisoners and is flying through the field. Caution. H296 heads the restart. 457 is piling on the coals and moves into the lead with 2 to go.

World Final Recall: 216 gets a great start and leaves the field behind. 84 is shoved wide by the pack as they all jostle through turn 4 coming to the green. Entering turn 1 a big pile up ensues ending with 16 upside down and 20 pointing skywards on top. All ok. Red flag. Complete re-start. Green flag and 216 leads into turn 1. 587 hits an infield tyre at the end of the back straight which holds up 515. NZ26v baulks 216 in turn 2 which lets 84 and 217 through. Lee puts a hit in on Tom into turn 3 but both remain in position. Caution for stranded cars. This restart is 84, 217 and 16. Lee drives Tom into the turn 1 fence but loses positions. 16 through to the lead. 259 firing them in is up to 4th. Caution for stranded cars. 16, 84, H618 and 259 head this restart. 84 is soon through to the lead passing the wingless 16 car on the exit of turn 4. Another pile up in turn 1 brings out the caution. A number of front runners come to grief sliding into the stationary cars. 84, 16 and 20 head the next restart. 55 is moving towards the front. At halfway 84 has a big lead. 55 passes 20 to move into 2nd. Liam retires with a smoky car soon after. 25 and NZ34 tangle in turn 2 trapping 16 and costing Mat track position. Tom takes a dominant victory with all challengers vanquished 👍
