With this, Will Hoare started in the first final battling for the top five, a position he held until finishing in fifth place. Dominik Olszowy, who started in the second line, got caught when he reached the area of the stones, being overtaken by his rivals and being forced to move up positions to cross the finish line in seventh position.
In the second final it was Olszowy who took the lead to position himself among the front group, but first a small mistake and then a crash, delayed him, finishing eighth, while Hoare was attacking and got into the fight of the leading riders, finishing fifth.
The last race of the night improved for Olszowy who made a good start among the front group, placing himself in fourth place provisionally, a position he managed to maintain for the rest of the race, obtaining his best result of this GP, finishing fourth. Hoare, despite a good start, was overtaken shortly after by a group of riders, finishing seventh.
With the combination of the three Prestige class results, Will Hoare finished the night in fifth place overall and Dominik Olszowy in sixth.

Will Hoare:
“Very happy with the fourth place in the final overall standings of the SuperEnduro World Championship this season. After each race I felt more comfortable on my Rieju MR 300. Now I'm looking forward to train well during the next months to prepare for the start of the Hard Enduro World Championship.
I want to thank all my sponsors for supporting me during this season”.
Dominik Olszowy:
“The British Grand Prix was great. The Newcastle track was slippery and technical, so I was hoping to get a good result. Unfortunately I made too many mistakes at the start of the first two races and couldn't find my rhythm. I managed to improve in the last final, made a good start, stayed consistent and finished fourth. In the overall standings I got sixth place. I am not satisfied with the results, I think we can fight for much more.”.
