The SEMSEC season continued at the regular venue of Lydden Hill with the Metro on duty once more for the team. Having impressed at Brands Hatch the team was confident the Metros good form would continue at Lydden Hill and headed into the meeting full of confidence. With little time between the opening meetings of the season the Metro was largely unchanged from its previous outing apart from using a new compound of Avon tyres for the meeting.

Qualifying saw the Metro immediately on the pace and the lap times were consistent throughout the session. The result was impressive with the Metro taking pole position by nearly a second and setting itself up perfectly for the races to come.

A superb start in the first race saw the Metro heading the field and it maintained this position to the chequered flag in a measured performance and superb demonstration of managing race pace. The Metro raced within its capabilities and kept a steady gap to the chasing pack increasing the pace when necessary to maintain its advantage. The second race saw the Metro beaten to the first corner by a Ginetta and a Subaru Impreza, the Metro set about consolidating 3rd position on the opening lap before going on the offensive. Within three laps the Metro had scythed past both the Ginetta and the Impreza and once again set about asserting its authority over the field. The Metro took the chequered flag at the head of the field for the second time to complete a clean sweep for the day – pole position, 2 race (and class) wins and 2 fastest laps. An impressive performance and an ominous one for its rivals as there is more performance to be unlocked from the veteran Metro.
