Forster was fastest in the third heat, qualifying second for the A final alongside Scott with Tom Keet, the third protagonist in the championship battle, completing the front row starters.

Scott led the A final but after a couple of laps on the front of the field came under increasing pressure from Forster who then took the lead in the third lap.

Keet managed to pass Scott to take second place but Scott held off Smith’s last lap approaches to retain third place.
