Link Up Ltd MSA British Autotest Championship

Round 6 - Crimson Dynamo, Owen MC

Alastair Moffatt continues to dominate the British Autotest Championship, collecting his sixth win of the season.  Moffatt who clinched the championship at the previous round, picked up his first penalty of the season on the second test of the day, which dropped him behind the ABS Freestyle of Stephen Wild. A close battle over the next seven tests saw Wild edge out a 3.3 second lead, but Moffatt put in three stunning times over the following set of tests to win by just 3.7 seconds.

Howard Everingham secured his sixth straight class win, and is now secure in the runner up spot.  The battle for the final podium position is now between four drivers: Ashley Lamont, Gavin Dickson, John Moffatt and David Goodlad. Lamont could only manage second in class after a mistake on the opening test of the day, which saw him drop nearly 14 seconds to Richard Pinkney, who held on to win the class by 3 seconds. The battle of the Novas continued with Gavin Dickson and John Moffatt, the two were less than a second apart after 6 tests and tied after 9 tests, Dickson took the lead on test 10, but picked up a 5 second penalty on the penultimate test, which cost him the class and the possibility of second place in the Championship.  David Goodlad in the Mini 1100, picked up his 3rd class win of the year, which puts him in with a chance of 3rd overall should the other three hit problems.
