With ominous clouds gathering, we started qualifying on brand new slicks. After 4 laps the heavens opening in spectacular fashion leaving the team guessing as to when Mark was going to quit and bring the car back in. Mark posted a qualifying time of 1:38.021, eight seconds behind pole, which was good enough for 14th position.

After lunch, with the skies again darkening and the track not drying, we were left in a tyre dilemma. It was decided to take the safe option and race with wets, even though the track was drying. 

The race underway, with the Mini's high cornering speeds and the pure size of the entry, the track did start to dry immediately. Mark (as planned) managed to keep the wets cool by driving offline were possible and an exciting scrap with Dan Eady, who had started 8th, developed. With Mark and Dan swapping places in good old-fashioned Mini racing style (no downforce here, Murray) they began to catch an unhappy looking Peter Baldwin, in an unaccustomed 9th place. Dan Eady retired much to Mark's disappointment, leaving him in a lonely 10th place. Hugh Ward's spin on lap 10 directly behind Mark while entering the chicane didn't faze the Moontech driver who went on to finish 10th while suffering understeer from overheated wet tyres.

Jonathan Lewis romped away from pole in spectacular fashion before retiring on lap 4, handing the lead to Ian Curley who held that position for the remainder of the event, with Robert Cullum only 5 seconds behind and Wayne Grayer filling the final podium position.
