RugRacers 2016/2017 Round 3

Round 3 and the final round before the christmas break saw a full capacity entry along with the popularity of GT12 an extra heat was put on taking the entries up to 44.  As is now becoming a tradition all racers were asked to bring an item of food that went to the foodbank to help those less so fortunate during Christmas.

Racing started with the GT12s 1^st out and a stellar start for Andy Murray making his RugRacers GT12 debut alongside current European Junior LMP stock Champion Ollie Payne would ensure Tim Hancock was going to have an even more difficult day.  The A Final would see Andy Murray take Leg 1 from Tim & Niall while Leg 2 went to Niall Cochran from Andy Murray & Ben Elliott.
