It was decided that the restart would be from the original positions and would be the second part of an aggregate race. This time Elsmere got the jump and through some ‘extremely defensive’ lines, managed to stay in the lead for four laps. Faulkner was in no mood to play bridesmaid though and pulled past Elsmere on the exit of Clearways. From then on he was in a class of his own, dropping into the low 48 s lap after lap and pulling an almost two second lead in the final few laps to the flag.

It was an emotional finish to the season for the Emco Yamaha Team, and was well received by the enthusiastic crowds who had waited all day for the main event.
