COTSWOLD TRIAL - THIRTEENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Thursday 22 November 2018

The Cotswolds had never looked so stunning. Over 1000 spectators made their way through the village of Gotherington to enjoy the spectacular, sun drenched autumn views whilst cheering on competitors as they battled the final 3 hills of the day at Prescott Hill Climb.

The competitors didn't disappoint, thrilling the crowds with their driving and bouncing skills ensuring a close competition across the classes.

Simon Price and Donald Skelton were Joint winners of the Harold Powell Cup and the Inderwick Cup having both impressively cleared every Section. The other title contenders in this Class Peter Kite, Peter Tierney and Richard Houlgate all finished near the top of the rankings making this one of the most hotly contested events on the VSCC Trial calendar.

In Class 2b the eagerly anticipated sibling rival between brothers Craig and Ben Collings at the head of The Frost Trophy table didn't materialise both finishing out of the awards.
The eventual winner of Class 2b was Geraint Owen in his Ford Model A.

... And finally the winner in the 'Novice Class' taking home the The Cotswold Cup was Dave Wall (competing in his first VSCC event) in his 1929 Austin Seven Saloon.
