Nicholson McLaren MSA British Hill Climb Championship

Rounds 11 & 12: Loton Park, 11-12 June

Roger Moran made the most of his wealth of experience to triumph at a sodden Loton Park.

Moran secured a pair of victories ahead of his son, Scott, to move into second place behind the younger Moran in the title race. Having now amassed a 36-point lead, Scott is on course to be crowned Champion by the end of August.

Meanwhile a standout performance by Mike Manning in his former rallycross Ford Puma resulted in the tin-top driver taking fourth and fifth in the two run-offs.
