Another last bend melee follows with cars clattering off each other and the fence. 166 crosses the line with a worse for wear car, followed by a spring or two! Kyle takes the win.

Final Focus: 287 leads away. 269 nearly goes over in turn 3 on lap 1. 2, H318 and H299 get trapped in the chaos. Caution to remove the 269 car to safety. 263 heads the restart. 543 gets freight trained into the turn 3 fence on the first lap. 318 whacks 217 wide in turn 1. 501 spins out in turn 3 and gets hit by 318. 318 gets rid of 5 next with a corker of a hit in turn 3. 8 spins in turn 4. 124 and 392 pile in. Caution to remove stranded cars. 263 and 300 head the restart. At the drop of the green 5 lets 318 and H124 have it into turn 3. Action galore in this one with 484 piling 5, 217 and 318 into turn 3. Speaky half spins in turn 3 and 217 finishes it off by pushing him fully around. 5 straightlines turn 1 to put a devastating hit on H299. An attempt by the Netherlands man to pay it back doesn't succeed as he is unable to connect with the World Champ. Whilst all the carnage is happening 84 has broken clear to lead at halfway. 259 whacks 515 into turn 3 but drops back soon after. 16 attacks the 259 rear end within a lap. 212 is chasing 84 but the car is suffering a bad misfire. 5 and 501 lock together and slew onto the back straight infield on the run to the flag. 84 takes the win. Another top drawer race 👍
