Backdraft factory driver Mike McLoughlin claimed another class victory, with former off-road champion Manfred Schroder finishing second.

Devon Clark impressed on his competitive Cobra debut, taking a well-deserved third place while competing on a varsity pass.

In Super GT C, Peter Blofield delivered another faultless drive in his RaceCo-prepared Cobra to take top honours.
