Herbert Sseals MX-5 Supercup Crown

Luke Herbert dug deep to secure the Mazda MX-5 Supercup title in the second race at Donington. Having finished behind Jack Harding in race one, Herbert just needed to track championship rival Tom Roche to clinch the crown with a race to spare.

As Harding led again, Liam Murphy and Jon Greensmith pressured Herbert, and when Greensmith passed at Coppice it allowed a whole train – headed by Roche – to follow through. Herbert dropped to seventh but kept his cool as Roche backed the pack up in a bid to encourage more cars between the pair. When the chequered flag was shown a lap early, they were only split by Ben Short, which left Herbert the champion and Roche falling agonisingly short for the second year running.

Harding completed a dominant hat-trick in race three, winning by six seconds from Murphy and Greensmith, with Herbert content to cruise to sixth.

Form driver Josh Gollin celebrated his own hat-trick in the Fiestas, taking the opening race with a sublime move from third to first. Jamie Going passed leader Simon Horrobin into Roberts and checked his momentum, allowing Gollin to pull alongside. Realising Going was also in range as he braked late to complete the move, Gollin switched to the inside and slithered past into Redgate.
