The quarter flag was deployed while the marshals cleared the many karts which appeared to be locked together. As the green flag dropped, Patterson drove all the way around the outside and shot into the lead, before pulling a two second gap on the rest of the field. Thompson made his way up passing Joseph Taylor, Brandon Martland and then Owen Marlow, he set his sights on Edgar, but as he arrived behind, they did not flight, only to work together to try and lessen the gap to Patterson who was enjoying the lead. Has the pair tried everything, the gap did appear to be coming down, but with 2 laps to go, Patterson looked like he could hold on, only to find he did a slow lap and the pair behind the fastest of the race. As Patterson turned his head to look behind, Edgar shot up the inside with Thompson attached, the grandstand thought that was it and Edgar would take the victory, but with a last minute attempt down the hill, Thompson pulled off what can only be the ‘manoeuvre of the year’ to grab the lead. With 4 corners to go, Edgar could not get back passed, Thompson taking the flag to the amazement of the people watching. Patterson hung on to 3rd, Taylor 4th.
