The penultimate round of the TYRO National series was due to be held at Fast Tracks Racing Club (FTRC). However there were concerns about the condition of the track and after hard work by the FTRC team who attempt to make the track BRCA legal. 4 days before the race day was due to take place the decision was made to abandon the meeting after a track inspection and in view of the fore casted weather. Less than 24 hours after this decision was made a meeting of the Rallycross Tyro National Committee and with the support of the BRCA Rallycross Chairman, the round was moved to Frankley Model Car Club (FMCC). The meeting was moved to Frankley due to how geographically close it was to FTRC and FMCC being an ‘all weather’ astro track.

Keith Robertson managed to get TQ with a time of 7/321.85 followed by Lee Bunker in 2nd with a time of 7/322.98 and 3rd was Matthew Lewis with a time of 7/313.45. In the A Final Keith Robertson kept his lead until the end of lap 5 when Greg Hill overtook him. These two switched places twice more until lap 12 where Greg Hill and Keith Robertson were 1st and 2nd, respectively, where they stayed until the end of the race. The battle was on for 3rd throughout the race though with 4 different people holding 3rd place throughout the race. Marc Knight worked his way up from 8th place where on lap 22 he over took Robert Cork who had been in 3rd for 10 laps. Marc held 3rd with Jim Davis close in 4th. Jim managed to get past Marc with only 3 laps to go however Marc kept his nerve and managed to take 3rd on the last lap. The final results are as followed:

1: Greg Hill 41/ 1804.40
