Thruxton served up two debut winners as Atte Mustonen scored his first British F3 victory to match the feat of Double R team mate Stephen Jelley in the first race.

Niall Breen finished second ahead of Rodolfo Gonzalez who got onto the podium for the first time.

Once again championship leader Marko Asmer had a quiet race, starting and finishing fifth behind Maro Engel.

But in the national championship title duellists Sergio Perez and Franky Cheng clashed at one of the fastest points on the circuit, which put Cheng out of the race and almost ended his title hopes along with it. Full results below.
