The lights went to green on the sun drenched welsh circuit, and it was Pettitt that took the lead, followed by an impressive Alex Quinn who started on grid 7, Wilson had an awful start dropping to 7th and York even worst, down to 11th. Last round winner Kiern Jewiss who and done well to grid up 6th had a small spin at the top of the circuit taking him out of the running and placed him down in 29th place. By lap 5 Quinn looked strong, with Herbie Grout now pushing for the lead. Eclispe motorsport driver Alex McDade had shown form and moved to 3rd, Wilson carefully making his way back up to the front now back in 4th. Grout had a brief spell in the lead, but by passing slowed the pack allowing more to join on the leading train, Pettitt then showed he wanted to lead and did so for the next 6 laps, with Grout following, Wilson meanwhile had moved up again and was now 3rd and in the lead group of 7.
