Qualifying

Philip Hanson and Nigel Moore set the early pace in qualifying, setting a quick lap around three seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Christian England and Colin Noble followed up for Team West-Tec, 0.8s behind, with Shaun Lynn third for United Autosports.

Race

After a brief delay to allow light rain to clear the circuit, Philip Hanson led from pole, from Christian England, who switched to the sister Team West-Tec car after problems with the one he and Noble qualified. The lead two cars would remain unchallenged through the race, even after the pit stops, with Jay Palmer and Wayne Boyd's United Autosports Ligier JS P3 coming home in third.
