The track was designed by Steve Donald and required maximum concentration from drivers at all times.

After two rounds of qualifying Chelle Snowden was quickest followed by Justin Heath and Karl Norris all with 33 laps, in round three however Karl moved up a gear with 35 laps to take pole position in the A Final.

In the LMP12 class Ashley King was the top driver with Steve Donald just under six seconds adrift and Fred Hatfield three laps down in third position.

In the GT12 C Final Saul Theobold had a fine win, Kaelin Thompson finished in second place a lap down and Caleb Jones was third.

The B final produced some great racing with Adam Hancock, Jack Walsh, Anthony Dennis and McKenzie Wallace all fighting for the lead. Jack and McKenzie raced wheel to wheel for several laps in succession, McKenzie set the fastest lap time and won a thrilling race to watch. Jack finished four seconds down in second place, Adam was third and Anthony fourth.

The A Final developed into a race between Karl Norris starting from pole, Chelle Snowden and Justin Heath. Another very competitive race, Justin set the fastest lap time but at the finish it was the ever consistent Karl who won, Chelle took a well earned second place and Justin finished third all three drivers being on 34 laps.

Just the LMP12 final to go where Ashley King was the victor,(he seems to like Steve Donald track designs!), Steve was a close second and Fred Hatfield third.

A super evenings racing, many thanks to Courtney Orme for running race control and to everyone who assisted in setting out and storing away all the equipment at the end of the evening.
