The final National and championship decider of the season took place at the premier newly resurfaced Halifax circuit in West Yorkshire.
Drivers were greeted Saturday morning to a damp circuit due overnight rain with the track eventually drying out with good grip levels during open practice and timed heats later in the afternoon.
Cloudy but dry Sunday morning with similar conditions all day with occasional light showers . Grip was excellent with some drivers struggling with grip roll.
