After the opening three events, this year's British Hillclimb Championship is shaping up to be a three-way contest between defending champion Matthew Ryder, former champion Wallace Menzies and aspiring champion Will Hall.
It is Hall that has a slender points lead following the first six of 26 run-offs. All three drivers are running state-of-the-art Gould GR59s and their pace has been such that they are already starting to edge clear of the chasing pack. Hall has 57 points with Ryder and Menzies level on 51. The competition has been so close that four of the six run-offs have been decided by less than a tenth of a second.
