Simon Moss wins final BRCA 2WD round

The final round of the BRCA 2WD nationals took place at the Kidderminster track and it was Schumacher team driver Simon Moss who took TQ in rounds 1 and 3 by some three seconds over his closed rival. During round 4 of qualifying the weather took a turn for the worst and the track became totally flooded with no chance of a resumption in the racing. This meant that Simon, who had taken the overall TQ would win the meeting as the qualifying results would be carried over into the finals.
