Rounds 1 & 2: Prescott, 25-26 April

Five-time champion Scott Moran swept to a pair of imperious wins at Prescott, just ahead of impressive new co-driver Alex Summers in a clean sweep for the mighty Gould GR61X.

Now sharing the ex-Martin Groves Gould GR55, Tom New took third and fourth. Co-driver Wallace Menzies ended up in a gravel trap in the first qualifying session but gained an equal sixth place later on. Trevor Willis, 2012 champion, missed round one after a noise exclusion but finished third in round two.
