== Race Summary ==
Stefan Van Damme took his 4th pole position of the season, with Mick Ashcroft and Nathan Meiri lining up behind. 
The race start was clean, with Van Damme losing two positions by the first corner. Ashcroft took the lead, followed by Van Damme's Lotus teammate Nathan Meiri. However, Meiri would allow Van Damme to pass before Club, promoting the Belgian driver into second. Meiri later had a tangle with Eder Fabre at Stowe but both cars survived, with Eldridge-Moffat managing to overtake both drivers. 
The front two cars of Ashcroft and Van Damme pulled away at the head of the race but on lap nine, Ashcroft's car snapped and went off at Stowe. He hit the enbankment but sustained minimal damage but lost the lead and second to Van Damme and Eldridge-Moffat. Ashcroft struggled in the closing laps and would go on to finish 5th. 
Van Damme's pace dropped in the final three laps which allowed Eldridge-Moffat to close the gap quickly. He challenged Van Damme for the lead of the race on the final lap but was unable to complete the move, with the Belgian driver just managing to hold on to win the race.
