Hiatt emerges victorious from Radnor

Stephen Hiatt took victory at round four of the Britpart MSA BCCC after two days of tough competition in Radnor forest. Tim Dilworth finished second with Gordon Monaghan in third.

Overnight rain made the course very slippery on the opening run and it was round three winner Martin Gould who took an early lead, finishing seven seconds ahead of Ian Rochelle with Dilworth in third.

Gould continued to build his lead through day one in his Mattserati, setting four fastest times on his way to an overnight lead of 1m 25. After being fifth following run one Hiatt was consistently quick and moved up to second place by the end of the day with Dilworth in third after driveshaft problems on his Peugeot.

Day two kicked off with another fastest time for Gould but it all went wrong on the second run of the day when a track rod end broke leaving the Mattserati stranded in the course. The resulting stage maximum dropped Gould down the leaderboard and promoted Hiatt into the lead in his Warrior Indy.

Hiatt maintained his lead to the finish, taking the win by 17 seconds from Dilworth. "We’ve had a good weekend with no dramas, we don’t quite have the pace of some of our rivals but we kept out of trouble when they had problems," said Hiatt. "The course was really good, a real off road course that tested the crews and was very enjoyable."

Dilworth was happy to claim second after his car problems. "We’ve had a weekend full of trials and tribulations with three broken driveshafts so it’s good to get some valuable championship points."

Monaghan enjoyed a troublefree run to third in his Monaghan RS. "The car has been excellent on what has been quite an endurance event" he commented.

Adam Evans took his second win of the year in the Trophy class.

Marches 4x4 Motorsport Management Ltd was set up and founded in 2000 by four dedicated off-road enthusiasts through which to promote and run the MSA British Off Road Championship rounds and to promote motor sport both on and off road.

2001 was the year that Foot & Mouth raged through the Countryside there were no MSA British Off Road Championship rounds that year and so Marches 4x4 held several single venue “Festivals” around the Country instead.

In 2002 the “team” organised the MSA British Off Road Championship which consists of 5 rounds, and are as far apart as South Wales and Scotland.
Each round is held over two days and is a single venue event with up to 14 runs.

We hold an annual Championship Awards Dinner which is held in the Midlands and is attended by both competitors and the organising team.

Most of the “Marches Team” are involved with several other events, providing radio control, safety radio, course cars, course closing cars, stage commanders, Clerks of the course, event safety officers, setting up stages and marshalling.

Marches 4x4 Motorsport Management Ltd is a non-profit making organisation and we are grateful for the time and assistance from all our team members and volunteers who give freely to promote and develop the sport.
