Maintaining a steady pace ahead of a competitive field he moved to 1st place after taking advantage of a poor line by the leader Gibson 4mins 30secs into the action. As the track action continued, Will remained consistent to maintain his 1st position at the chequered flag.

In Heat 4, Will again started on the 1st row of the grid with the knowledge that if he held that position he would be champion pushing into 1st place by the end of lap 1, his championship rival Finlay Lines slipped to 14th place, effectively securing the championship for Will. All Will had to do was finish 6th or higher to win the championship. Will continued to pull away from the pack eventually and as the chequered flag dropped, Will crossed the line inP1, 1.77 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor.
