Brown (HMO Customer Racing, Hyundai i30 N) RACE 3 – COX RETIRES AND MORCOM INHERITS THE LEAD Cox jumped into the lead from P3 on the grid ahead of Moffat, Brown and Morcom, while Cameron made a bad start from pole and found himself fifth before dropping two more places behind Pither and André Heimgartner. On lap 3, Morcom passed Brown for P3 and began to chase Moffat who eventually retired with a broken engine mount. Halfway through the race, there was a close battle for the lead with Cox followed by Morcom and Pither, but Cox went off with a flat front tyre and so Morcom inherited first place. During the final laps, Pither tried to get close enough to attempt an overtaking manoeuvre, but Morcom didn’t give him the opportunity. Behind the two leaders, Brown and Heimgartner held on to third and fourth, while Cameron dropped further back and D’Alberto advanced to fifth, securing second position in the championship. At the end of a troubled weekend, Aurélien Comte finished a respectable eighth in the debuting Peugeot 308, followed by the CUPRA of Tim Brook.
