Barry Burrell and Nikki Coates each converted pole into a win in their respective Heats at Brands Hatch this afternoon.
In Heat One, Burrell enjoyed fun throughout the whole race with new team-mate Richard Cooper, the pair gapping the rest of the pack by around five seconds and swapping places a couple of times before Burrell passed his close friend for the win on the last lap.
James Bull took third with James O’Mara fourth and Christian Smith fifth.
Coates took the lead at the start of Heat Two and was also able to pull away at the front as the main battle became the one for second.
Josh Corner eventually crossed the line in the runner-up spot with Kieran Smith third, Scott Carson fourth and series newcomer Alex Olsen fifth.
