BSB Brands Hatch triple-header

[Rod Richardson]

Race One
Tyre choice turned out to be the key in doubtful weather conditions. Byrne, Kiyo and Hill started off with wets but had to pit to change thus putting them down the order. A sigh of relief for Brookes and Relantless and good efforts by EVO class Gowland and Richards.
