Wye Valley Trial
Event Report
Steve Courts won the Wye Valley car trial for the first time since 2008, after a very tight scoring day in the rear wheel drive class, beating Kevin Roberts by three points. Kevin's Dutton had suffered an under dash fire in the extremely hot, dry conditions.
Mark Hoppe, having bought his Saxo from Nick Pollitt last year, won the new car class and extended his British championship lead, beating Pollitt (VW Lupo) by just a single point.
John Moffatt customarily won the front wheel drive class from Philip Buckle and Neil Mackay, who tied on points fifteen behind Moffatt.
