Cymru Car Trial

Event Report

Henry Kitching won the first part of the July Welsh car trial weekend, a very wet Cymru. Kitching slowly opened a decisive lead over Mark Hoppe in the new car class as conditions deteriorated with heavy rain, this being Kitching's first win since claiming the BTRDA Gold Star last October.

Fellow Yorkshire driver Rupert North, who invariably excels in North Wales, finished second overall and dropped the lowest marks.

The rear wheel drive class saw an extremely close battle between Dave Oliver, Barrie Parker and Nigel Weeks covered by less than ten points with Oliver winning the class for the first time this season by a point.
