Fuchs Lubricants British Historic Rally Championship
Russ Otway
The 2025 Fuchs Lubricants British Historic Rally Championship season ended at Trackrod Rally Yorkshire last month, where George Lepley claimed victory, and the fiercely contested category titles were finally settled after a thrilling weekend in the Dalby forests. Category 3 [ cars registered 1975-1981 ] provided the most contested title battle of the year, with the Ford Escort MKII dominating the top end of the leaderboard. Paul Thompson and codriver Josh Davison arrived with a slender half-point lead but chasing them was fellow local Dan Mennell. Mennell’ s raw pace on home soil shone through, with co-driver John Roberts keeping him calm, Mennell secured the pair both the Category 3 win and title. In Category 2 [ cars registered 1968-1974 ] Tim Pearcey and Andrew Boswell finished the overall top ten to seal the Category 2 drivers’ crown for Pearcey. Iain Thorburn, co-driver to Drew Struthers, secured the co-drivers’ title after a consistent season. Category 1 [ cars registered up to 1968 ] had Mini Cooper pairing Terry Cree and Richard Shores claim the championship title in the oldest car on the BHRC roster. Paul Clayton and Vera Johnson secured the Category 4 title in their Peugeot 205 GTi.

Motorsport UK Sporting Car Trials Championship
Launceston & North Cornwall Motor Club hosted the David Ayers Trial at Trevilla, in atrocious weather conditions. After very heavy rain on the previous day, overnight and throughout the day, the sections were very demanding. 18 hardy competitors tackled 16 sections. Thomas Bricknell was the clear winner dropping 31, with Simon Kingsley next on 50.
Pinford Farm near Ross-on-Wye was the venue for round 12 of the Motorsport UK Championship, and after Saturday’ s rain saw a drying trial as the sun shone on the competitors. Scores were very tight among the front runners, with just four points covering the leading six cars at lunch, but on the final round of hills Thomas Bricknell and Beth Carroll achieved a slender win from Matt Sharp, with Sam Beare a very creditable third overall and best Live Axle.
