Final

 

Angelo Mouzouris was able to apply great pressure to Hollis in the final and on lap 9 looked to pass Hollis around the outside of turn 1 only to have Pancione and Sinni get by him. Mouzouris was then able to fight his way back to 2nd and again got to the bumper of Hollis getting to
the lead with 4 laps to go. In the closing laps Hollis fought back and over took Mouzouris at the chicane with Mouzouris getting a bit off line and getting out onto the loose stuff and having to cut his way through the sand trap and rejoining the track in 4th position. Hollis going on to make it 4 wins from 4 starts and going from 4th in the championship at the start of the weekend to claim first overall in the championship.
