The organisers had intended to hold two races on Sunday after weather disruption this week, when qualifying sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening were called off because of rain and high winds.

However, three races are now set to take place on Saturday with the remaining three races scheduled for Bank Holiday Monday.
