The race would soon get worse for the Japanese driver, with a spin on the entry to Sheene Curve prompting the deployment of the Safety Car. The top five would breakaway from the fight for sixth between Vittoria Piria and Jessica Hawkins on the restart, and the championship combatants would begin to fight. With three laps remaining, Chadwick would run wide at Westfield, with Visser sneaking up the inside at Dingle Dell with two wheels on the grass. The loss of position would allow Wohlwend to close up to the championship leader in the fight for 4th place.
