Branson retains British title with Halifax win

Xray’s Kyle Branson has successfully defended his British Electric Touring Car Championship title with victory in tricky conditions at the third round in Halifax.  Kicking off his title defence with victory the opening round of 5 in May, Branson made it three in a row although this time he would not start from the TQ.   Some mistakes in qualifying meant he lined up P2 behind Xray team-mate Harley Eldridge.  In the finals however Branson would win A1 and 2 to wrap up the overall win ahead of Yokomo’s Alex Thurston and Schumacher’s Zak Smith, the result putting the title beyond reach of Branson’s rivals.   The newly crowned back to back BRCA Champion will travel to the Cotswold track for the penultimate round next month.
