The 2017 Championship finished off with final round, 750MC’s BoontreeBirl Rally on 2^nd December set in the Angus roads and based at Balkeerie, near Glamis.  The winning partnership of Cobb/Crozier confirmed their winning ways by only dropping 3 minutes the whole rally, winning the rally ahead of MacKintosh/Cameron (15 mins) and Merry/Couser (24mins).  The non-expert class was won by Wallace/Thomson, only dropping 1 minute with the novice class being won by the Ross twins who just dropped 2 minutes.

Final Championship places for all 8 rounds, including dropped scores, where 46 competitors have competed the class leaders are:

Overall competitors seemed to enjoy the championship with the only negative comments being made related to the amount of information provided to crews on events or the difficulty of some of the clues on some events.  I’ve been in touch with organisers about this and hopefully 2018 will address these issues.

As, technically, there did not seem to be any bespoke awards for this championship and overly full ESACC shields being used in the past, I have, with the permission of the Chairman and Treasurer purchased 6 new shields to be presented annually to the winners of each of the 3 drivers’ and navigators’ championships.
