The Hitech driver took the lead of the race on Lap 1 and converted it into another win of the season.
On pole for Race 1 was champion leader Nikita Bedrin and alongside him on the front row was Hitech’s Deagan Fairclough. Lights came on and a great getaway from Fairclough who took the lead into the first corner. Almost three wide went, Pulling, Molnár and Rehm.
Off into the gravel went Leon Wilson with Peter Bouzinelos. Rehm made a move on his teammate Molnár for fourth position.
Fairclough clipped part of the curb, taking part of the underside off of the car. Spinning further down the grid was Maxim Rehm going backwards at the hairpin, dropping into the pitlane with slight front wing damage. Race control noted the incident between Rehm and Molnár.
Rehm made his way back into pitlane with potential suspension damage. Back at the front of the grid Bedrin was all over the back of Fairclough. Two wide went the VRD and Hitech but Fairclough managed to keep the lead.
Fairclough crossed the line victorious, three victories in the last four races. With Bedrin in second only further extending his championship lead and Pulling rounding off the podium positions.
