Sprint race two witnessed a stirring drive through the field by Morris, who slipped way back on the opening lap. "I was just about last," said Ed, "and so I had to set about picking them off." He made fourth on the opening lap, then the top three next time around and, within three laps, had displaced Hay from second and was bearing down on Joachim Westermann, who had led from the green light.
Westermann appeared to have had the best from his tyres by mid-distance and Morris was not slow to capitalise, Constable following him past the German car to push Westermann down to third.
Hay had meanwhile been pushed back to sixth and had to fight past Tommasi and Johnstone to get back in the hunt. Despite a steadily stiffening gearbox Richard was back on Ed's tail with four laps to go, but that was as close as he would get to victory. "Despite the gearbox I still could have passed him," said Richard, "but he made it very difficult to do so safely."
So Morris triumphed by four-tenths, with Constable emerging third behind Hay for Team Parker Racing after getting the better of a long fight with Tommasi, Westermann and Johnstone.
Saturday's Feature Race should have provided double the intrigue, but an eighth-lap accident sadly robbed it of two leading contenders. Bull had assumed the lead on the opening lap and had just lost it to a determined Hay when, entering the Stadium section, he felt his engine misfire momentarily. It picked up again but then, entering the Südkurve, it died completely and the closely pursuing Tommasi rammed Bull from behind.
"I tried everything to restart the engine," said Olly, "but nothing worked. And then. whack." Both cars ended their race there, Tommasi's badly damaged after impact with the barriers. The problem with Bull's car was traced to a faulty wiring loom.
This left Hay with a 4.5-second advantage over Constable, with Westermann third. Hay was the first to stop, handing an increased lead over to his partner Richards, who then stretched it to nearly 20 seconds by flag fall.
