Zmarzlik and Michelsen are the next couple to reach the final. Zmarzlik was victorious. Zagar looked strong on the first lap but couldn't compete with those in front. Despite the knockout it was a good night for the wild card.

Thomson declared the win and Yanofsky finished second and followed him to the final. Lambert and Madsen looked bright in the first corner but ended up in the back of the line.

Due to tape delay issues the Heat started with a red light. Zmarzlik had a stunning victory and Janowski finished second. Holder and Lindgren finished third and fourth respectively

Heat 10 - Madsen Zmarzlik Woffinden Lambert

What a tough fight the first lap was. Lambert moved on but a fine lap gave Madsen the victory. Zmarzlik placed Lambert second who had to settle for third. Woffenden crossed the line for him on the last zero.

Heat 9 - Przepelski Yanofsky Doyle Thomson

Doyle was the next to be left out after a click. Substitute Dennis Fazekas comes on. Przedpelski was also ruled out as he was not ready to start again after Skorja entered.

Janowski and Thomsen fought for the win with Janowski winning and he's already reached the semifinals. Thomson followed. The two reserves were unable to join the fight against third-placed Skoga and fourth-placed Fazekas.

Two on top

Heat 8 - Dudek Vaculik Madsen Janowski

It was an intense game in the Heat 8. Yanofsky had a great performance in his second win of the night. He is in his own element. Madsen was close behind Vaculik in second and took the final point in third with Dudek in last place.

HEAT 7 - Thomsen Zagar Woffinden Holder

Woffinden and Zagar fought for the first two laps but in the end it was Woffinden who won. Zagar is in second place. There was no pressure on Thomson in third and Holder in fourth.

Heat 6 - Flick Lindgren Lambert Przepelski

Lambert has all kinds of heat. He jumped at the red light but was allowed to continue the race and nearly fell before taking the lead on lap 2 to take the win. Lindgren was close behind Przedpelski was third and Fricke was last.

Heat 5 - Bewley Doyle Zmazlik Michelson

One of the closest to the Heat so far. Doyle moved on on lap 3 and went on to win. Here's a photo between Bewley and Zmarzlik the former taking second and Zmarzlik taking third. Michaelson finished in fourth.

Points so far

Lambert Zmarzlik Michelsen and Janowski both won three points in their first game. Doyle Przedpelski Thomsen Madsen and Fricke both. Dudek Zager Lindgren and Bewley in one. The no scorers so far are Skorja Holder and Vaculik.

Heat 4 - Wolfenden Frykjanovsky Bewley

Gate 3 seems to be the best in Croatia. Maciej Janowski came out victorious. Max Fricke finished second and Dan Bewley third. Tai Woffinden struggled in the later races with a fourth-place finish.

Heat 3 - Lindgren Thomson Michaelson Madsen

Anders Thomsen was ruled out of early wicket contact with Nick Skorja as a reserve. Mikkel Michelsen had a great fight between Leon Madsen and Fredrik Lindgren to finish second with Madsen taking second. Reserve Skorja was fourth.

Paying respects

A minute's silence for the late great driver Nigel Pearson.

Racing is imminent

For those joining us in the UK the first heat will start at 7:60pm local time.

Woffinden Woes

Tai Woffinden entered the race weekend as one of the most popular drivers. However the Englishman is only 14th can he redeem himself?

Hello and welcome

It's finally time for the 2022 Circuit Grand Prix in Gorican Croatia. 16 drivers will compete in the evening's race to become today's overall champion. Poland's Bartosz Zmarzlik was the fastest man in qualifying but who can pass him tonight?

Zmarzlik tops qualifying

Bartosz Zmarzlik's 2022 Circuit Grand Prix season has been a blockbuster as he storms to the top of the qualifying points at the FIM Croatia Circuit Grand Prix in Gorican.

Earlier in the session Zmarzlik set a fast time of 14.339 that no one could come close to. As a favored person attending today's event it's no surprise that he's the one to beat.

His closest competitor is rookie Dan Bewley who unexpectedly stands out. The young Briton placed himself second in his opening qualifying session giving him a good advantage for tonight's race.
