The second win of the day for the Carrera Cup Scholarship driver took him 16 points ahead of title rival Michael Meadows, who ran a close second.Rob Smith was the toast of Pro-Am1 with a hard-earned second win, while Steven Liquorish battled through to win Pro-Am2.Webster (Redline Racing) got the jump at the rolling start and took a lead he would carry to the flag. However, he could never relax as Meadows (Samsung UHD TV Racing) was always in his mirrors as the gap ran at around a second and a half. Early on, guest racer Richard Muscat (Redline Racing) stayed close to Meadows before dropping back in a secure third.Justin Sherwood (Team Parker Racing) set the early pace in Pro-Am1 but soon had Smith (Redline Racing) and Jordan Witt (Redline Racing) in close pursuit. Then, as Pro racer Paul Rees (In2 Racing) battled back ahead after a spin, Smith saw his chance and dived ahead of Sherwood to take his second Pro-Am1 win of the day. Sherwood later spun at Montreal after contact from Witt, but recovered to take third place behind Witt. Later, Witt was awarded a time penalty to reverse the finishing positions.There was drama in Pro-Am2 when Liquorish (Team Parker Racing) made contact with Peter Kyle-Henney (Parr Motorsport) on the opening lap. Both drivers carried on, unsure of any damage, and it was Liquorish who was able to pull clear as Kyle-Henney moved back to second ahead of Paul McKay (In2 Racing).Josh Webster (Redline Racing) first overall:“That was one of my toughest races. It’s not easy leading from the front, but the team did an incredible job and the car was fantastic.”Michael Meadows (Samsung UHD TV Racing) second overall:“That was better. I’ve been busy doing a lot of driving recently and the car hasn’t been perfect this weekend. Snetterton is a track I’ve never won at.”Rob Smith (Redline Racing) first in Pro-Am1:“I had to work hard for that. I let Paul Rees go and then tried to follow him when he made a move on Justin. Then Justin went a fraction wide and I got the nose of my car up inside his.”Steven Liquorish (Team Parker Racing) first in Pro-Am2:“I so nearly pitted after the first lap because of the coming together with Peter. But I decided to do one more lap and it got better. I just had to keep it neat and tidy and stay off the kerbs.”Peter Kyle-Henney (Parr Motorsport) second in Pro-Am2:“I got a Liquorish lunge on the first lap! It was enough of a knock to put the rear toe out. Then I got past both of them into the Hairpin, but ran wide and they came back through. Once I got ahead of Paul, Steven was away and gone.”Results round 11:Overall: 1 Josh Webster; 2 Michael Meadows; 3 Richard MuscatPro-Am1 category: 1 Rob Smith; 2 Justin Sherwood; 3 Jordan WittPro-Am2 category: 1 Steven Liquorish; 2 Peter Kyle-Henney
