Mike Simpson was top qualifier with Paul Galbraith second, in division 2 there was great competition between Callum Ward and Jenson Butlin to take the fastest qualifier spot in division 2 with Callum getting the upper hand in rounds 2 and 3 by just a few seconds.

In the finals Paul Galbraith got off to a good start and was leading for most of the race, however his car appeared to slow down slightly in the latter part of the race and Mike Simpson was first across the finishing line.

Another close battle in division 2 but Callum Ward eventually had a comfortable win by 2 laps over Jenson Burtlin with Joshua Galbraith taking third place.

GT12 Class

David Simpson got off to a good start by winning round 1, but was bettered by Darren Ford in round 2 only to be beaten by the best qualifying performance in round 3 by Daniel Williams. Three rounds and three different winners!

So Daniel led off from pole position on the grid in the final followed by Darren. A fast and furious race with a few spills along the way followed and Darren won by 2 laps, setting the fastest lap time on the way. Daniel also had a great drive to finish second with Dave Tomlinson third a further lap behind.
