Mighty Max cooks up another win for Wilson Racing
Cook struggled during the practice session, but then clocked the fastest lap of qualifying to claim pole position for the opening race at the tight Cadwell Park circuit in Lincolnshire.
He soon lost the lead, but recovered well and regained it on the penultimate lap. The advantage changed hands three times on the final lap, but Cook secured his 12th victory of the season.

Wilson Racing teammates Charlie Atkins and rookie Jake Clark also competed at Cadwell Park. Atkins defied an overnight illness to claim fourth and fifth spots and is now fifth in the standings with 40 points more than he had at this time last year, while Clark took 11th and 13th place finishes to sit 12th overall, having missed the first seven races.
Team owner Gary Wilson said: “The lads were great all weekend. Jake showed a great attitude.”
