Bob Harris won the “Battle of the Bobs” being just a quarter of a second faster than Bob Harley to take pole position in the B final.
Ben Norris was the best placed F3 driver ahead of Jack Walsh and Courtney Orme but it was newly promoted Chris Metcalfe who took pole in the C final.

Things were very close in the Mardave class where Nathan Marshall eventually finished four seconds ahead of Roy Matthews.

In the LMP class Steve Donald snatched pole position from Ashley King in round three, these two being two laps ahead of the rest of the field.

Finals
A great drive from Roy Matthews won him the Mardave/GT12 D final, his nearest challenger Nathan Marshall not quite being able to match his pace. Dean Bostock finished third and Kyren Glover fourth.

The GT12 C final was close with pole position driver Chris Metcalfe retiring after thirteen laps, leaving the two fast improving junior members Jack Walsh and Benn Norris to fight it out for the win. A good race this with Jack getting the upper hand to take a well deserved win, Benn was second and Courtney Orme third.

In the B final Bob Harris starting from pole suffered a setback at the start of the race as Bob Harley shot into the lead like the flip of a coin and went on to win the race. Behind him there was some very close competition for the remaining places between Bob Harris, Mike Simpson and Kayleigh Knight. All three were very closely matched for speed, at the finish it was Mike who took second place, Bob was third and Kayleigh fourth.

James Hart won the A final with an impressive 35 laps, Karl Norris was second on 34 and Darren Ford took third less than a second ahead of Dan Sheppard.

In the LMP final pole position driver Steve Donald could not match the speed of Ashley King who won the race with 36 laps, Steve was second on 35 and visiting driver Fred Hatfield took third spot also on 35 laps.
