Link Up Ltd MSA British Autotest Championship - Round 8: Loughborough Car Club, Gamecock Barracks
Alastair Moffatt rounded off his championship with his fifth FTD of the season, but he had to battle hard with the ABS of Stephen Wild – the two being separated by only a handful of seconds throughout the day. Richard Pinkney collected another Class C win in the Caterham to secure the runner-up spot in the Championship, while John Moffatt set some blistering times in the Vauxhall Nova netting him 5th overall on the event and 3rd overall in the Championship.
Howard Everingham picked up another Class A win in his Mini after Dave Mosey retired with engine problems, which ensured Howard took the MSA Class honours and Dave Cook was again dominant in the Ford RS100E in the Road Going Saloon Class taking a full house of class wins over the season and finishing 4th overall in the Championship. Ben Morten became the first winner of the Junior Class award for drivers under the age of 25, winning the class by one point from David Higginson and Chris Chapman.
