There was some good starts in the heats following some good racing by Logan as he had race long battles for the win in two of the heats where he has shown his pace but eventually came out in P2 in all three, putting him 2nd on the grid for the final race of the day.

At the final race, Logan took the lead in the first lap where he had lost in lap 2 but gained this back in the third lap. He maintained his lead throughout the race before losing at the end of the race in the final lap.

This was a consistent day outright on Saturday, where Logan had the pace to win it all day even by setting out the fastest lap of the race in one heat but actually managing to take the win.

Logan led the opening heat on Sunday lights to flag bit the following heats was a bit more difficult. He held the lead on the first lap of the second heat but dropped to 2nd on lap 2.

He stayed in this position before going for the lead that didn’t pay off as he had dropped to 3rd where he finished in heat 2. In heat 3 Logan had fell to 8th position at the start. He managed to make his way back to the front but could only manage to finish 6th.
