With the new Diablo Supercorsa 110/70-17 and 140/70-17 showing the way, as well as the debut of the new Diablo Rain 140/70-17 size used to full effect taking a race win when the race conditions required it.

The Up to 300 class saw the same Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa domination, with a clean sweep of the overall results with Drew Sells 1st, followed by Justin Hall and Samuel Condon all choosing to race on Pirelli.

In the Support 600 class, Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa again showed the way, with a Pirelli 1-2-3 in the overall results with Mitch Levey 1st, followed by Callum Spriggs 2nd and Sam Clarke 3rd.
