Holland through on Clarke in lap 2 around the middle section but Clarke crossed the line in the lead once again to start lap 3.

Attard joined the fray on lap 5 when he shot through on both Holland and Clarke at the end of the back straight.

The only way the rest of the race can be described is amazing, no chance of keeping up with the amount of lead changes and out-braking moves as the lead swapped many dozens of times in the race.

They were crossing the line each lap within a couple of thousandths between each of the top 3 runners.

One of the closest and hard fought races I have ever seen. The race of the year so far in any class and any series.
