The season started on 23 March at Donington Park and ended at Thruxton on 12 October following sixteen races.
This would be enough to keep title rival Nicolas Minassian at bay, who was hindered by a disqualification from second place and a two-race ban for unsportsmanlike behaviour at the third round at Thruxton.
The Frenchman was baulked by backmarker Michael Bentwood whilst leading, allowing Kane to overtake and take victory.
After the chequered flag, the infuriated Minassian proceeded to brake-test Bentwood to a halt and hurl gravel towards the Englishman.
