Beller fought tooth and nail every inch of the way with winner Jamie Westaway, the lead changing various times throughout both races and with literally ‘less than a second’ separating the 2 cars for the entire two races.
In the end it was Westaway who secured victory with Beller claiming the second step of the podium in races 1 and 2.
Beller Motorsport teammate Jack Atley secured his first Top 10 race result in his second event.
