Each of these drivers will be seeking glory at this edition of the Championships. There will be many drivers to watch throughout the weekend, Kyle Edgar has shown great speed throughout the season with many top notch performances in the ECKC series. Austin Bisschop has also been a top contender during this season in his class. We are looking for a solid breakout performance from him with the potential for victory. Scott Jefferies has also found some great pace in his first full season with REM, with a near podium on a few occasions this season. REM hopes to give him that final push to get him on the podium this weekend. Kieran Oxley and Kevin Monteith are both looking for front running performances this weekend after a tough season that has been full of problems for the both of them.
