Overview
- Kyle Ryde converted pole into victory in Race 1 at Knockhill, taking his sixth win in seven races and reinforcing his early-season dominance.
- Ryde secured pole in qualifying with a 47.260s lap and then pulled clear when a challenge from Bradley Ray ended in a mechanical retirement on lap 28 of the 30-lap race.
- The Race 1 result on Saturday left Ryde on 122 points and extended his championship lead to 21 points over Scott Redding, who finished second.
- Glenn Irwin produced an emotional recovery from eighth on the grid to finish third for Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions and mark his first podium since his 2025 Snetterton crash.
- Wet weather shaped the weekend: combined practice was extremely tight (top 19 within 0.921s), Pre‑Qualifying was moved to Saturday to fit the changing timetable, and Josh Brookes led the wet practice times earlier in the weekend.
