With the rain falling steadily some of the mid race runners decided to Avon wets but the drivers at the front decided to wait to see which way the weather would go. In the end the slick shod runners made the right call and the drivers on wets had to come in again for slicks as the rain eased off and stopped.
Another driver on the move was Paul O'Neill and by lap twelve he was up to fifth and catching Ferrier as the pit window approached. Ferrier came in on lap 20 as the rest of the front runners elected to stay out as long as possible.
Simonsen continued to circulate at the front of the field but he was unable to shake off Adam Jones. Tim Harvey and Anthony Reid were having a great battle for eighth place, the former BTCC rivals nose to tail for lap after lap until Harvey was able to put the Porsche ahead of the Ferrari on lap 19.
Simonsen, Jones and Griffin all came in on the same lap, just before the pit window closed. Piers Johnson, now at the wheel of the Team Modena Gallardo got a great pitstop and came out right on the tail of Hector Lester in the CiM
Ferrari, passing the Irishman on the run into Deene. However a slide off the track on to the grass at Gracelands undid all the hard work and dropped Johnson right down the order and out of contention for the lead.
Hector Lester was now in the lead, with Peter Bamford in second but the pair had Leo Machitski in the #9 Tech 9 Gallardo bearing down on them. Machitski overtook Bamford on lap 26 and then took the lead a lap later. While the 2006 British GT3 Champion consolidated his lead Lester and Bamford had a new threat looming in their mirrors as Steve Clark swept past them in the Viper on lap 29 and lap 30 respectively.
In GT4 Rob Austin had handed over the Ginetta to Hunter Abbott to lead the GT4 Class ahead of Colin Wilmott in the #52 Team RPM Ginetta after Nigel Redwood had been leading the class early on in the race. However Wilmott's race came to an abrupt end at the entrance to Brook.
