Overview
- Kyle Ryde set a new all-time Brands Hatch lap record in Q2 with a 1:23.954 to take pole position.
- Scott Redding led from the start until Ryde made a decisive pass at Paddock Hill Bend around lap 15 before the race was stopped on Saturday when Eugene McManus crashed.
- Race control declared the result under the red flag, awarding Ryde first, Redding second and Max Cook third, and McManus was stretchered to the trackside ambulance reporting leg pain.
- Max Cook said he pushed like 'ten qualifying laps' to stay with the leaders and then suffered severe tyre wear that left him a lonely third.
- The victory moved Ryde to 218 championship points with Redding on 199, extending Ryde’s lead and underlining the season-long two-rider duel that has followed the Snetterton weekend.
