Saloon Cars

Grant Johnson won a confused opening Saloon Car race which was interrupted by a red flag after six laps.

Battling down the order, Justin Chaffey ended the race on the passenger door in the gravel at Turn 5.

Confusing matters however were a number of backmarkers, caught out of position as the red flag fell, at the head of the race.

It saw race leader Johnson buried in the pack, and the race initially awarded to Neil Streatfield before officials quickly amended the results with Johnson the victor.
