British Supersport/GP2 Race 1

Harry Truelove took his second win of the Quattro Plant British Supersport season in style at Cadwell Park, taking the sprint race victory by 0.026 from Jack Kennedy and Ben Currie.

It was Trulove who bagged the lead after the opening lap, making the best start from pole and began to hold off Bradley Perie and Ben Currie. At the end of the opening set of four laps began a four man battle for the lead, with Jack Kennedy joining the leading group.

The local man Truelove began to pull a gap over the chasing pack at half race distance, holding the advantage to 0.732 over Perie, with Currie and Kennedy battling it out for third. With two laps to go Harry had a second lead over the field, but it would be left between Kennedy and Currie to battle for second after Brad Perie crashed out. Truelove rode sensibly but a small mistake at the final corner saw him have to beat Kennedy to the drag to the line to collect his second win in as many races.

British Supersport/GP2 Race 2

Harry Truelove made it three in a row in the Quattro Group British Supersport class, dominating the feature race at Cadwell Park. Launching off the line, Truelove was unchallenged on his way to another win, but it was a dramatic race behind him.

After a close battle over the opening few laps between Jack Jennedy, Ben Currie and Bradley Perie, disaster would strike Kennedy at the halfway point when the series leader crashed out of second.

With Currie able to pull away for a safe second, it was the GP2 machine of Charlie Nesbitt that was third across the line, with Bradley Perie taking the final podium position in the Supersport class. Currie had destroyed a bike in morning warm-up so P2 was a good way to bounce back.

Joining Nesbitt on the GP2 podium was Jones and Horsman who had a close battle over the final few laps.

It was Chrissy Rouse who grabbed the holeshot, storming through from the third row of the grid. However, Tom Neave had soon found a way through by lap three before a red flag for rain on lap four saw the race stopped.

It was a repeat performance on the restart, with Rouse grabbing the holeshot ahead of Alex Olsen, but it was a five rider battle throughout the opening laps. Taking the lead on lap five, Olsen was able to edge away from the pursuers. However, a fast charging Neave moved through on the penultimate lap to take the win ahead of Olsen and McConnell. The South Australian moved back into third in the championship standings.
