Price & Clark win at BRCA TC nationals Rd2

Pice & Clark win at BRCA TC nats Rd2

Round 2 of the 2014 BRCA TC Nationals took place this past weekend at the Halifax track situated in West Yorkshire. The Halifax track is the largest track the series attends on the 2014 calendar and horsepower is regarded as a crucial factor in both classes. However, the weather this past weekend was cruel to the drivers with rain descending on the superb Halifax facility the whole weekend. But if we were going to have a really wet national, Halifax with its new covered pitting area was possibly the best venue in the UK to host it. Conditions proved to be very difficult and mixed for drivers in both classes with very little grip and forward drive reported on the wet and greasy surface.
