Race one saw a race-long battle between DPR customers Aaron Head, Ben Whibley and Craig Currie. The closing stages saw Craig Currie in second shadowing Aaron Head with Ben Whibley waiting in the wings. On the final lap run into Clearways, Craig Currie’s move on Aaron Head was thwarted by Ben Whibley who skilfully stole second place to pass the line ahead of now third-placed Craig Currie by a gap of just .022 seconds.

Race two was a different proposition with both Aaron Head and Craig Currie recovering from poor starts by moving up the field to repeat the 1st and 2nd positions in race one but with a clear lead over the following pack. This time second-placed Craig Currie made his move without any unexpected interventions and gained the chequered flag with a lead of 1.7 seconds over Aaron Head together with setting the fastest lap. Craig Currie’s fastest lap of 53.258 seconds is a new Supersport lap record. Third place on the podium was gained by Jeremy Webb ensuring a full DPR podium representation in both races.
