Tohill Takes Supercar Victory Amid Knockhill Dramas

---

It was a day of fire, drama and attrition in the latest round of the Motorsport UK British Rallycross Championship 5 Nations Trophy presented by Cooper Tires at Knockhill held in glorious weather conditions for round five of the British Rallycross Championship and round six of the remaining championships.

Derek Tohill (Ford Fiesta) won round 5 of the Motorsport UK British Rallycross Championship with a stunning performance this afternoon. The multiple Irish champion was in dominant form, taking victory in two of the three qualifying races to take his second win of the series and crucially move into third in the points table. Yesterday’s winner Roberts Vitols overcame two DNFs in the qualifying races and a win in the third to claim second ahead of six-time champion Julian Godfrey who took over the Citroen DS3 of reigning champion Mark Donnelly following mechanical issues to his own Fiesta. Steve Hill took fourth, Ollie O’Donovan was docked five seconds for track limit infringements and finished fifth ahead of Tristan Ovenden but holds onto the championship lead now shared jointly with Vitols.
