Nicholson McLaren MSA British Hillclimb Championship

Rounds 21 & 22: Wiscombe Park, Devon – 31 July

There was the bizarre spectacle of a pair of two identical top seven finishers in each runoff, Scott Moran winning both as he moves toward a third British Championship title.

Trevor Willis took both second places on offer and is now only 11 points behind Roger Moran who found the pace of the meeting a challenge. Tom New continued his recent improvement with his pair of thirds as his co-driver Chris Merrick struggled a little but still came away with three points.
