11:04Sam Tordoff takes the win at Snetterton, Victor Jiminez wins Pro-Am1 and Fraser O’Brien takes Pro-Am2
11:03Looks like Meyrick has settled for third place, not a bad result on his series debut. Tordoff rounds Corum and is now on to the home straight.
11:02Geddie and Plant are still battling hard for sixth place
11:01LAST LAP – Tordoff has a lead of 2.453 seconds over Meadows
11:00Tordoff leads the field around for the penultimate lap, Meadows and Meyrick follow through, looks like it’ll stay this way for the end unless there are any problems.
10:59Jiminez now leads the Pro-Am1 class with Mortimer and Webster occupying the podium slot.
10:58Gelzinis spins off track and resumes but collides with Pro-Am1 leader Al Harthy as he rejoins. The Omani driver is out of the race, he had nowhere to go as Gelzinis moved across on him.
10:56Meyrick now has Gelzinis to deal with as the Lithuanian driver closes in on third place. Plant loses out as he tries to pass Geddie.
10:55Richard Plant is pushing Glynn Geddie hard as they battle for seventh place.
10:55Tordoff is controlling the pace out front, Meadows can’t do anything to close the gap. Al Harthy continues to leads the Pro-Am1 class while O’Brien leads Pro-Am2
10:53Andy Meyrick is reeling in Michael Meadows, looks like he is hungry for second place with five laps remaining.
10:52Top three in each category are:
Pro: Sam Tordoff, Michael Meadows, Andy Meyrick
Pro-Am1: Ahmad Al Harthy, Victor Jiminez, Oly Mortimer
Pro-Am2: Fraser O’Brien, Will Goff, Tania Mann
10:50Tania Mann has had another spin, not a great return for the Australian driver
10:49Andy Meyrick is on a charge, fastest of all drivers in the first sector, now Tordoff is fastest of all in the second sector.
10:49Tordoff leads over the line for the fifth lap, the gap now 1.199 back to Meadows, Meyrick is another 1.344 seconds behind the Redline Racing driver
10:47Michael Meadows is piling on the pressure as he sets a new lap record for the Snetterton 300 circuit
10:46Tania Mann loses it and spins around out of Nelson
10:46Michael Leonard is out of the race with bent steering, originally thought it was a puncture after the incident with Pierce.
10:45Tordoff pulls out the lead to 1.205 seconds ahead of Meadows and the chasing Meyrick. Looks like he’s responding to the pressure as he sets the fastest lap.
10:44Gelzinis is on a charge as he sets the fastest lap of the race so far. Michael Leonard pits again, not looking good for this race.
10:43TCF blogger Ahmad Al Harthy leads the Pro-Am1 class with Newcomer Fraser O’Brien leading the Pro-Am2′s
10:43Leonard rejoins the race but is so far behind the 17th placed Pierce
10:42Michael Leonard pits for a new front right tyre, bad luck for the Irish Pro-Am1 pole sitter
10:41Tordoff leads Meadows over the line by 1 second, new race distance is 13 laps after the delayed start.
10:40A great start by the pole sitter, Meadows and Meyrick follow through as Derek Pierce spins out after tagging the back of Michael Leonard’s car
10:39Sam Tordoff leads the field in to Riches
10:36The cars are heading around on their second formation lap, there’s now a long line of cement dust heading in to Agostini
10:341 Minute until restart
10:33So with fourth placed Barker missing on the reformed grid Daniel Lloyd has a clear view ahead of him.
10:32We’ve lost Ben Barker already as his Porsche comes to a halt of the formation lap. Delayed start as the marshalls lay down cement dust to cover the fluids dropped by Barker’s sick Porsche.
10:27The cars are heading around to he grid in the glorious sun at Snetterton.
