Adam LZ faced Matt Field in his Top 32 battle while James Deane battled it out with Robert Thorne. Saturday’s Top 32 showcased some incredibly close battles, particularly from the RTR camp where both Adam LZ and James Deane would fail to advance. A decision from the judges which internet commentators do not seem to be seeing eye to eye on.

Chelsea would make his way through the Top 32 beating Barion with ease. During the halftime break a massive rainstorm moved through staying long enough to soak the track creating all new driving conditions for the drivers as they took to the track for the Top 16.
