Matt Neal scored every point on offer in race two at Croft by leading every lap on his way to a comfortable victory, setting the fastest lap in the process. The whole race took place in dry conditions, allowing the championship leader the luxury of a comfortable lead, despite carrying maximum ballast.
The Honda Civic got a perfect start from pole position but Mat Jackson was unable to hold off the rear-wheel drive BMW of Rob Collard who steamed through into second. The two very nearly came to blows at the chicane before Jackson was forced to cut the corner. Behind them, Jason Plato had made a poor start, allowing Gordon Shedden to take fourth.
With conditions much more consistent than the earlier race, Jackson couldn't keep up with the two ahead of him and fell into the clutches of Shedden and Plato. On lap four, he became the sole Airwaves Racing driver running after a scary accident for teammate Liam Griffin. The Ford Focus careered straight on at the Jim Clark Esses but fortunately avoided the barriers and speared into the nearby field.
On the same lap, Tom Boardman joined the list of retirees after hitting the tyre stack at the chicane and spinning out with a broken steering arm. With the SEAT Leon stranded in the middle of the track, the safety car was deployed while the car was cleared away.
At the restart, Neal established a comfortable lead once again while Collard got his tyres up to temperature. His pace was still quicker than Jackson's and the Airwaves Ford lost third on lap nine to Shedden, while Plato also loomed large in his mirrors.
That threat disappeared on lap 11 though when the Chevrolet Cruze slowed to a crawl with a suspected driveshaft problem, promoting Andrew Jordan up to fifth ahead of Tom Chilton, who survived a collision with Paul O'Neill which sent the Tech–Speed driver into retirement.
Surprisingly, the second Honda Civic of Shedden was starting to fade as the race neared its conclusion and was coming under pressure from behind. Andrew Jordan dived past Jackson into Tower on lap 15 and immediately set off in pursuit of the Scotsman.
On the penultimate lap, the Pirtek Racing Vauxhall Vectra was through after getting a superior exit coming out of Clervaux, earning Jordan the final podium position behind Collard and Neal, who eased off to win by just under a second.
Shedden did manage to hold off Jackson for fourth while a pack of three drivers caught up to them on the final lap. Tom Chilton was the first of them in sixth ahead of Nick Foster who took an impressive seventh despite a puncture early in the race. The mid-race safety car period brought him back into contention and the WSR driver sneaked past Dave Newsham at the final corner, a move that would prove crucial moments later.
Andy Neate and Tom Onslow–Cole ensured that all three Team Aon entrants made it into the points after the latter of the two fended off a late recovery from James Nash who had spun to the back of the field on the first lap.
Frank Wrathall also had points in his sights in the NGTC Toyota Avensis and was as high as 12th when the safety car pulled in, but his race ended in the Clervaux gravel trap after an earlier moment of contact caused him to lose control on lap 10.
Nick Foster's last corner lunge earned the ultimate reward moments after the race when the random draw determined that the top seven finishers would be reversed for the race three grid. As a result, he will start the third race on pole position, with Tom Chilton joining him on the front row.
