testing rule now in play in the series it was the very first time that Adrian and the PR Motorsport team had been able to run the car. In qualifying, everything seemed to be back on course for the Sackville School pupil, as he took second on the grid for race one and grabbed pole position for race two. As the lights went green in the opening race Adrian shot into the lead.
