Rounds 7 & 8,
Gurston Down
Qualifying and run-off action at Gurston
Down’s fast Wiltshire hillclimb from two early rounds of Britain’s major speed event series
Defending champion
Martin Groves sidelines his Gould in a high speed accident in qualifying on a
wet track, leaving the dynamic Trevor Willis to take the opening run-off win
ahead of local man Basil Pitt, with championship leader Scott Moran only third.
But in a supreme effort, Groves
bounces back in the afternoon to take the second run-off win ahead of Moran as
he fights back up the championship table. All the qualifying and run-off action
at one of the country’s fastest venues, plus driver interviews and spectacular on-board
action, feature in this extensive coverage of a dramatic day’s hillclimbing.
