The first round saw the defending and current champion, Kyle Branson with his X-Ray X-4 set the pace with a quick 19-lapper, from team-mate, Harley Eldridge, with Andy Murray's Schumacher Mi8 in third. Round two saw Kyle again fastest from Chris Grainger's Schumacher Mi8 and Alex Thurston's Yokomo BD-12 was third. Round three saw Alex take the fastest time with a 20 lapper from Kyle, with X-Ray's Peter Eagles in third and Chris Grainger in fourth. This saw Kyle on pole position and lining up behind him, was Alex from Chris and Harley.

In the finals, the first leg was a bit wet but that didn't stop Kyle taking the win with 15 laps from Chris and Andy. The second leg was nice and dry and it was again Kyle taking the win this time with 20 laps from Peter, Alex and Chris. For the third leg, the rain had properly come down and continued through the final with the cars throwing up plumes of spray. But this wasn't going to deter Kyle, who made in a hat-trick of wins from Chris in second and young Daniel Robins in third. So it was Kyle who took the overall win, making it four out of four, with Chris in the runner-up spot with Peter taking with the final podium spot.
