Mike Howlin finished fourth in his Ford Fiesta, while Brian Jukes and Vince Bristow rounded out the top six finishers in fifth and sixth places respectively.
Lynch said after winning in Belgium “I’m absolutely made up. The team has worked hard to get the car to where it is. Julian Godfrey’s helped us to set it up since Pembrey and we came here with good confidence. I needed the win for the championship, hopefully we can stay strong for the rest of the year.”
