Mark Speller provided a driving masterclass as the Elise Trophy visited the challenging Cadwell Park circuit. In changeable weather conditions, he won his heat after Steve Williams’ challenge ended with an off-track excursion, eventually finishing third behind Adrian Beer.

Speller’s main challenger was Gavin Kirby, who beat Gary Broad after an intense battle with Michael Edwards and Craig Denman, both of whom spun. Both heats were characterised by fierce battles between the drivers as they lapped the tight circuit.

After a race-stopping startline incident in the final, Speller asserted his authority over chasers Kirby and Broad after Williams again took himself out of overall contention, with Steve Quick claiming victory in a soaking wet consolation race over Denman.
