The Moto Arena venue, situated within the Silverstone Circuit complex is unique in the UK as it’s an indoor venue but with a tarmac racing surface. The event proved a big success for Team Associated with Olly Jefferies dominating the Super Touring class taking TQ and the A final win, Zak Smith won the 10.5 Pro Stock, Zak’s team mate Chris Slater took TQ with his TC6 but a good result for Chris was spoilt after an incident lapping a back marker caused a DNF in leg one of the A final. In the 17.5 stock class it was a convincing victory in the A final for Schumacher driver Scott Hauser, who also took TQ. 13.5 stock racing is a class growing in numbers in the UK and at Moto Arena the victory in this class went to Malcolm Hall.
