BRCA Touring Car Series Rd4 – Report

A full entry of 110 drivers headed to the fast Halifax track in the north of the UK for round 4 of the BRCA Touring Car Series. Prior to the meeting there were concerns over the Sorex control tyre so the BRCA allowed an extra set of tyres for the Modified drivers. Despite the 2017 title already being decided in favour of Xray’s Olly Jefferies, the class was still very keenly contested. At round 4 Jefferies once again took TQ ahead of Team Associated’s Chris Granger and the Schumacher of Elliott Harper, and Jefferies also went on to take both legs of the Modified A-final ahead of Harper and Zak Smith (Team Associated). In winning the meeting Jefferies maintains his 100 percent unbeaten record in the UK this year.

In the 13.5 Boosted Stock class it was the battle of the Xray drivers with Markus Askell taking TQ ahead of championship leader Zak Finlay. Finlay went on to take the win ahead of the Schumacher pairing Chris Gunter and and James Hart, and in taking the win Finlay also secured the 2017 Boosted class title.

In 13.5 Blinky it was an all-Awesomatix top three with Jimmy Maddison taking a convincing victory ahead of Shaun Batt and Richard King. The fifth and final round takes place next month at the Cotswolds track.
