Sam Tordoff was the fastest qualifier in the #600 Honda Civic Type R and then he led for the entire 16-lap race to score his first win of the season. Jason Plato, who started from the front row, received a penalty because he was out of the grid box and dropped out of the fight for the lead. Dan Cammish finished the race in the second place, what was his eighth podium this year. The third man on a podium was Adam Morgan (Ciceley Motorsport, Mercedes-Benz).

Championship leader Colin Turkington finished the race in 13th place in the #1 BMW 330i M Sport, one place behind his closest championship rival Andrew Jordan in another BMW.
