Gaby Mohr
Event Report
Rupert North borrowed a Citroen Saxo, changed from his usual class two and drove superbly all day with a brilliant second round, in challenging conditions, to take a fabulous class and overall win at the Gaby Mohr trial. North has faithfully campaigned his Rover Mini for 19 years, and jumped ship in a gutsy move to challenge Shawn Franklin, who could only manage third in class. Trevor Moffatt challenged North all day but a poor fourth round dropped him behind. New dad Philip Buckle took a big front wheel drive class win from Mark Hoppe who managed the last three hills with a broken CV joint salvaging the MSA Class award. Dave Oliver was once again sublime with another class win from Steve Courts.
North was ecstatic to finally take the British championship, only leading it after the last round. In a strange car he showed pure British champion class to take his third overall win of the year.
