In the penultimate round of the championship, the Newport Pagnell racer came fifth in Race 1 and third in Race 2 - his ninth podium of the season - to retain the title lead ahead of reigning champ Stefano Comini.

With one round remaining, Nash said: “I’m relieved almost to come through and yes, a bit surprised still to be leading the championship.

“But I’m under no illusions that anything will be settled before the final event in Macau and before then there’s still a lot of racing to go and many more points to be won.”
