Kyle Branson wins Rd4 of British Nationals

For the fourth round of the BRCA 1/10th 200mm National championship it was held at Snetterton circuit in Norfolk and Kyle Branson sent us this report. The weather was good however the traction was not so great at the start, but with around 60 cars there on saturday the grip soon came up. It was Mark Green and Kyle Branson who were setting the fastest laps through most of Saturday, my car was good for most of the day with a few little adjustments making it a little better. Sunday morning was cooler and it looked like there was a hint of drizzle during the day, however this wasnt the case as within an hour the sun was out. In round 1 Mark took TQ, I made a mistake which ruined my run of getting 25 laps, with me in second and John Zottl in third. In the second round Mark was still on TQ just ahead of me in second, I couldn’t improve on my time due to having a problem. In the last round I managed to improve and get TQ just under a second ahead of Mark in second and Joe Kerry in third.
