Supersport / GP2 Feature Race

Luke Stapleford was back on the top step of the podium in the Feature race as he beat Rhys Irwin by 1.505secs.

Ben Currie – who had been leading the championship on points before the race – led off the line but looked to suffer a mechanical issue on the second lap when he ran off track, rejoining way down the field and spent the rest of the 14-lap race playing catch up.

With Currie out of the mix, Stapleford found himself leading and was able to slowly build a comfortable buffer as behind, Irwin and Tom Booth-Amos battled for the runner-up spot.

Irwin held off his rival to take second by 0.351secs, with fourth place going to Tom Toparis as Luke Jones was fifth.

Joe Collier doubled-up with another GP2 class win on the Kramer, just over two seconds ahead of Cameron Fraser as Harvey Claridge took third.

Billy McConnell passed Kerr on lap 10 to hold third to the finish line, as Kerr took fourth and Joe Talbot secured fifth.

Billy McConnell

“It’s been a while since we’ve been on the podium what with all the things that have gone on, like being taken out at Oulton and having a fuel pipe break at Donington, so it’s nice to be back on the box again. After Knockhill, we’ve been slowly rebuilding the confidence and were fourth or fifth in every practice and qualifying session this weekend so felt good ahead of the race. I missed the jump a little bit when Alex went with Dan, but I had a good battle with Richard and was delighted to come out on top so a big thanks to the team, the bike was awesome again.”
