Another pole for Cleland; he was ahead of Allam and Rouse, who was nearly a second behind. In fourth and fifth two surprises: Odor in the Primera and Verdon-Roe in the Ecosse Cavalier.
The first row had a good start, but from row 3 Menu stormed away, nearly beating Rouse for second. Victims were Leslie and Verdon-Roe who dropped back. A terrific fight between Rouse and Cleland developed, with the Toyota in the lead for two laps, but then Cleland went by again. Allam followed, and Hoy stayed behind in fourth - and they finished in that order. Soper finished fifth, closing in on Hoy who had engine troubles.
