BRCA Touring Car Series Rd2 – Report

The second round of the BRCA Touring Car Series took to the North of England and one of the premier tracks in the country, Halifax. With mixed weather in the area there were winners and losers in both the Modified and Stock classes. In the Modified class Schumacher’s Olly Jefferies lined up 2nd on the grid after qualifying behind Xray’s Elliott Harper, but both were on a different tyre strategy so the finals would be interesting. In the first leg Olly pressured Elliott hard for the first few minutes and managed to make a pass, Elliott pushed hard to retake the lead but made a mistake in the fast left. This enabled Olly to take victory from Elliott and Team Associated’s Zak Smith. In a similar scenario in the second leg Olly managed to pass Elliott to take the win again, taking maximum points for the weekend, which was very important for the championship. Zak was 3rd again with Andy Murray 4th overall, an excellent result from 10th on the grid.
