Andy Rouse took his Industrial Control Services Rover Vitesse to his second victory of the season at Thruxton on Bank Holiday Monday. Rouse dominated practice, and led from start to finish in a race punctuated with incidents throughout the field. Patrick Watts scored yet another Class B win, his third of the year, with the MG Metro Turbo and Richard Longman increased his overall championship points lead by taking Class C honours with his Datapost Escort RS1600i.
