Hodgetts takes first win at Thruxton
Stefan Hodgetts took his first car racing victory after an amazing Formula Vauxhall battle with championship leader Ryan Dalziel
The pair swapped the lead throughout the race and it came down to a last lap showdown into the chicane, with the son of former BTCC champion Chris Hodgetts taking the honours.
Gary Paffett took third after a battle with Milos Pavlovic, who span out of contention at the chicane near the end of the race.
Robert Bell was a close fourth with Vincent Apple in fifth after contact with both Daniel Scandian and John Dalziel.
