Luke Stapleford held-off Jack Kennedy to power to today’s Supersport Feature race win at Donington Park – as Kennedy boosted his points lead.
It was Ben Currie who got the best start at the green light, leading Kennedy into Redgate and holding the lead for the opening few laps.
On Lap Seven, it was Kennedy’s turn to hit the front but it lasted just a couple of laps as a charging Stapleford fought through from a third row starting position to hit the front.
Once ahead, the Macadam Triumph Racing rider managed to keep the pack behind him for the remaining laps, eventually taking the win by 0.271secs over Kennedy, as Currie took third, just 0.169 secs behind the Honda Racing UK rider.
TJ Toms took fourth as Eugene McManus secured fifth.
Owen Jenner was once again the man to beat in GP2, finishing ninth overall as his Kramer Racing team-mate Jack Nixon was second and Keo Walker third.
And in the Cup class, Cameron Hall took victory, with Tom Tunstall a close second and Lewis Jones third.
