Each Championship round follows the standard structure of one practice, four qualifiers and one final.
Saturday Superstock
This started well for Elliott Harper who ran 4 faultless qualifiers winning all four and securing FTD and pole position on the grid. Elliott driving his new Xray XII had placed himself in a strong position with 3 previous Round wins and the possibility of securing the 10.5 Championship ahead of the final Round.
In the final, Elliott again piloted his car around the track in a faultless 8 mins. to win his 4th Superstock 10.5T round and achieving maximum points.

Sunday Open Modified
The start of the meeting again saw Elliott make good progress towards the final securing FTD and lining himself up for a potential double FTD and wins, as well as potentially securing enough points to win the National title before the final round after 2 earlier round wins and a 2nd place to count.
After a few adjustments to the car Elliott again drove faultlessly and took control of the race, piloting his XRAY XII to the second win of the weekend.
The weekend was very successful and Elliott was very pleased to have secured sufficient points in his first BRCA 12th challenge to win both the BRCA 10.5 and Open Modified championships with the new XRAY XII car!
