Round 6: Rufforth Airfield, near York – Alwoodley MC

Alastair Moffatt took FTD at the Fern Furnishing/Old Mill Autos Autotest, which is a new event in the MSA Autotest calendar. The win moves Moffatt a step closer to winning back to back MSA Autotest titles and he only needs a class victory on one of the final two rounds to clinch the 2009 Championship.

Richard Pinkney in the Caterham was again Moffatt’s closest challenger for FTD and finished just 6.9 seconds adrift.  Malcolm Livingston brought out his Lotus 7 for the first time in 18 months, bringing it home 3rd overall and second in class C, with Stephen and Ben Morten’s Raw Striker just behind the father and son team separated by less than two seconds. 

John Moffatt took another class win in the Nova but was pushed hard all the way by Lee Valentine, the latter finishing 3.4 seconds behind Moffatt.  Dave Mosey made a rare appearance in the Mini, the 2006 MSA Champion showing that he had lost none of his speed and won the class and finished 6th overall.  Howard Everingham had to settle for second in class behind Mosey, but finished well clear of Rob Rolston as the two battle for Class A Championship honours.

Dave Cook was again dominant in Class E in the Ford RS100E, with the improving Lloyd Bass finishing second in class.
