Round 4: Warwickshire Car Trial, 11 May

Barrie Parker was a delighted winner of the Warwickshire car trial, his first in the Westfield he bought last year.

Parker’s win followed two stunning climbs on one hill during the afternoon to turn a one-point deficit into an 11-point class win over Dave Oliver, who has won many times at Burton Dassett Country Park.

Nick Pollitt also came from behind in the new car class to beat championship leader Mark Hoppe. A titanic six-way battle in the front-wheel-drive class saw six competitors covered by just nine points, with John Moffatt winning by three points from Simon Harris and the tying Ray Jacobs and Philip Buckle.

Results1 Barrie Parker (Westfield) 71.4%2 John Moffatt (Vauxhall Nova) 88.8%3 Nick Pollitt (VW Lupo) 89.2%
