Final Focus:
559 leads away.
501 passes all the blue grade in one move.
An early caution for a stranded 339 on the back straight.
Restart order is 226 - 287 - 559
157 is soon through to lead.
8 and 515 are putting in a strong performance. Catherine keeps with Frankie after he passes her.
At halfway 1 hits 157 wide into turn 1 and takes the top spot. Adam has no chance to retaliate this time as Tom is carrying phenomenal speed down the straights.
226 and 530 come to a stop on the outside of turn 3.
1 lap to go sees 515 pass 157 with a push into turn 1. Adam launches a pile-driver of a hit in return entering turn 3 but to no avail.
A win for the World Champ.
