This race was very nearly John Bowe's first touring car win. The Taswegian emerged the leader from an early dice with Brock and Fury, pulling out a solid margin. Sadly, with less than 10 laps to go the Volvo overheated, handing the lead to Fury. Brock was delayed by an electrical issue, elevating Seton to second for Nissan's first 1-2. |
