The battle for the lead consisted of Tommy Bridewell, Jason O’Halloran, Tarran Mackenzie, Danny Buchan and Gino Rea during the early stages.
However, that became four when Buchan highsided after oil from his SYNETIQ BMW caught onto his rear tyre.
A red flag was brought out after Lee Jackson and Andrew Irwin also crashed on the leaked oil.
When the revised 5 lap sprint began, Mackenzie held off Bridewell by the slender margin of +0.048s, while O’Halloran took third - same position as race one.
Race Two
Jason O’Halloran took the second Bennetts British Superbike win of the weekend at Snetterton after getting the better of team-mate Tarran Mackenzie.
In what was a mirror image of Saturday’s race one, the two McAMS Yamaha were a consistent presence at the front.
Mackenzie looked favourite to make it back-to-back victories after leading most of the race, before O’Halloran used the Snetterton back straight to slipstream his way to the inside on the final lap.
Tommy Bridewell was third and very much in the battle for the win, however, the Ducati rider was unable to use his Panigale V4 R’ power on the straight as was the case in race one to split the Yamaha duo.
Race One
Tarran Mackenzie takes his third Bennetts British Superbike win of the season during race one at Snetterton.
After crashing with team-mate Josh Brookes in qualifying earlier today, things went from bad to worse for Christian Iddon as he fell at Oggies on lap one.
After an impressive opening lap from pole, Glenn Irwin quickly came under pressure from McAMS Yamaha rider Mackenzie.
The Scottish rider was able to close up on the Honda rider after finally getting the better of Andrew Irwin on lap one.
The race was then flipped on its head on lap five as Glenn Irwin crashed from the lead, while Gino Rea suffered the same fate when Andrew Irwin slowed up due to a mechanical issue - led to Rea hitting Lee Jackson.
Avoiding all the action out front was championship leader Jason O’Halloran and team-mate Mackenzie.
With four laps remaining, Mackenzie got back ahead of O’Halloran, while Tommy Bridewell was up to third.
Mackenzie held on for victory, however, Bridewell managed to pip O’Halloran over the line, while Brookes was fourth and Jackson fifth.
