The Ford Focus driver clipped the inner kerb at Murrays corner, which launched his car into a series of rolls, ending upside down on top of the safety barrier and bringing the race to an immediate halt, leaving Feltwell's Challis declared the winner on countback.

A trip across the grass at the Esses started an exciting Open Series race for Simon Smith, who had to work his way by Jonathan Mitchell and then Gary Bate, who had sneaked ahead at the pit stops, while Challis gave chase in the Arrowpak Porsche.

Bate got his revenge in the Magnificent Sevens race on Sunday, while Christian Pittard's challenge faded when he stalled his engine during his pit stop and Smith needed a wheel change before continuing.

However, Smith triumphed for a second time in the Sprint race, helped when Bate spun at Hamilton's.
