We're on the rolling lap........
Early leader is 9 Bell off pole as he just holds off 115 Haird trying to go round his outside, but yellow flags on lap 2 as 940 Woolsey spins......
10 minutes repair time as we lost a few on the first couple of laps, no major damage.......
We've lost 467 Holtmanns and 940 Woolsey from the restart, 278 Gomm and 162 Waller-Barrett have repaired and 77 McGuigan is right on the edge of the 10 minutes but makes it by the skin of his teeth! We're ready to go again......
This time 115 settles in behind 9 with the next few 174, 962, 261, 117.....
More yellows as 27 and 629 spin on turn 4, we've lost 100 Burtenshaw with a flat as well. 629 Sibbald and 27 Godfrey are both out as is 348 Brereton, and we're ready to go again......
10 laps gone and it's still 9 Bell leading but 115 and 174 are both on his tail, 192 Moss spins but is out of harm's way.
Bell is now up with the back markers, it's still 9, 115, 174, 962, 117, 261......
23 laps gone, 115 is keeping the pressure on 9, the top 4 have broken away from the pack......
115 attacks the outside on lap 29 and hits the front!......
Lap 34 and it's 115 trying to get some daylight between himself and 9, 174 is close behind 9 with 962 losing some ground on the top 3.......
It's 115, 9, 174, 962, 117, 304 on lap 41 but 174 Kew passes 9 to go 2nd......
115 is carving through the back markers and opening a healthy gap, 962 is right with 9 pushing for 3rd now on lap 49.......
Further down the field 95 Murray is up to 7th with 970 Murphy just behind him.....
Lap 56 and 115 stretches hissed ahead of 174, and 962 is past 9 into 3rd and putting the pressure on 174......
Onto the 63rd lap of 75 and 115 looks to have it in the bag barring mechanicals or back marker trouble......
115 has gone he is caught up with back markers and spins, 174 gets past 962 and leads, 962 is going for the outside......
962 is past 174 again and leads with 5 to go.......
962 Christie stretches away from 174 and takes the flag!!!!
Across the line it was 962 Christie, 174 Kew, 9 Bell, 304 Fiske, 95 Murray, 970 Murphy, 117 McDonald, 39 Hunn, 271 Stimson, 996 Doak, result to be confirmed.........
