[1] [8] Harfield finished third during the first race of the season at Donington Park (national layout), [9] and had a second place finish later that weekend during race three.

[17] [18] By competing the Donington GP round, he was ineligible to score points for the Challenge Cup—sub-championship for drivers who contest seven rounds of the main championship—in which he had a 99 point lead in before his previous scores were all dropped. [18] At the Silverstone National round, Harfield started on pole position for race one [a] and finished second behind McLaughlin. [19] Harfield took his second win in the series during race three, after a back and forth battle between him and McLaughlin. [20] [21] For the season finale at Brands Hatch, Harfield started on first for race two and continued his lead until the end with a lights to flag victory. [22] [23] He finished the season in fourth, with 246 points. [22]
