As the rain returned the Ginetta spun out and stopped on the entrance of the corner bringing out the safety car with just 8 minutes of the race remaining.

With the rain coming down the cars circulated behind the pace car, with drivers weaving to try and keep some heat in their Avon slicks on the wet track. Leo Machitski was a bit too vigorous with his weaving and at Gracelands the Lamborghini slid off the track, promoting Steve Clark into the top spot. With the rain falling, the decision was taken to put the chequered flag out at the end of the lap and Steve Clark took the win as he crossed the line behind the safety car with Hector Lester and Michael Meadows taking the other podium positions.

Hunter Abbott took the second GT4 win of the year for the Rob Austin Racing team, well ahead of Matt Nicol-Jones and Joe Osborne.

Round five winners Jon Barnes and James Gornall failed to score any points in round three because of bodywork damage to the Viper after a collision with another competitor however with their nearest rivals also failing to score they retain their championship lead by three points from Paddy Shovlin and Michael Cullen. Two podium finishes for Michael Meadows and James Sutton put them just seven points behind the championship leaders as the championship now heads to Snetterton for the next two races in two weeks time.
