Five racers – including Shane Byrne (Ducati Racing) – crashed at a wet Donington in the warm-up but pole-sitter Ray made a perfect start to lead from Dan Linfoot (Honda Racing), who moved up from fifth on the grid.

Leon Haslam (Speedift Kawasaki), who started on row three in seventh, managed to pass Linfoot on lap seven of 18 to finish second but the weekend belonged to Ray, who finished 3.450 second ahead of Haslam.

Ray has a maximum of 50 points after the first two races of the season, with Shane Byrne, who finished fifth in Race 2, second on 31 points, and Linfoot on 29 in third.
