The MMX British Open Championship took place at the legendary Hawkstone Park in Shropshire at the weekend, with the Relentless MX team making some changes to the usual format by giving Lewis Gregory an outing on the RM-Z450, alongside his regular big-class teammate Jamie Law. With the sandy track in great condition, Law was looking to continue his good run of form in the MMX, starting the weekend off from his solid fifth place in the series standings. Frustrated with his eighth place in timed practice, Law was just one place behind teammate Gregory, who impressively was contesting the championship for the first time this year on the larger capacity RM-Z.
