Britpart MSA British Cross Country Championship

Round 6: Walters Arena, 5-6 November

Ryan Cooke took victory at a dramatic final round, with Martin Gould wrapping up the title win.

With four wins already this season Gould required one more finish in his Buxton 4x4 Rivet to take the championship crown. His weekend got off to a bad start when his car stopped on the recce lap after an alternator problem and he suffered further problems on run one with a faulty clutch master cylinder.

Colin Gould led throughout day one but he retired on day two with a broken balljoint leaving Cooke to take the win in his Milner ahead of Richard Coleby and Martin Gould.

“I’m really really chuffed with the victory,” said Cooke. “It’s been a long time coming and it’s taken a lot of hard work by everyone involved in the team. It was a great event and, other than a driveshaft problem, the car has been trouble-free. Consistency has paid off and, for once, lady luck was on our side.”
