Kyle Branson wins British 1/8th Rd5

Round 5 of the BRCA 1/8th on-road Championship was hosted by the Adur club which is situated on the south coast, near to Brighton a couple of weeks ago. The weather forecast was for rain on Saturday and showers on Sunday which would make qualification very interesting. When arriving on Saturday the track was very wet and heavy rain poured down which did not relent all day with most of the drivers deciding to not run. Towards the end of the day, the track did eventually dry out but with grip levels very low, drivers decided to use the time to setup engines. Sunday, the track was dry which allowed for practice in heat order before a rain shower. The showers soon past and the track dried out very quickly which enabled qualification to begin.
