Rallyscore Scottish Autotest Championship 2022 - Results

Going into the last round any one of 3 drivers were in with a chance of winning the championship – Gordon Clendinning, Gary Clark or James Morrison. 

 The last round was hosted by East Ayrshire Car Club at Kames on 23/10/23 and attracted a good entry of 15 cars to the PCA / Autotest, unfortunately we were short of some regular competitors with Oly McCollum competing on the Solway Targa and Ronnie and Martin Gillespie attending Rally Catalunia. It was good to see so many juniors competing in the PCA, it would be great if some of them may compete in some of next years Autotests. 

 On arrival the weather was cold but dry, this soon changed to either a light drizzle or a heavy downpour, this lasted most of the day, which made the tests very slippery and unpleasant driving conditions for the open top cars. 

 The 3 championship contenders were very close all day with Gordon Clendinning taking FTD, closely followed by James Morrison whose Mini Special was just a bit more nimble than Gary Clark's MX5. 

Although Gordon took FTD on the day, Gary Clark was crowned the 2022 RALLYSCORE Scottish Autotest Championship by 1 point with James finishing 3rd in the championship. 

 It was good that the final result was down to the last round, this shows that it has been close throughout the year. I must mention the improvement throughout the year of Gary, Oly and Martin, thanks must also go to Gordon for mentoring the drivers and also assisting with the design of the test layouts. 

 I am planning to have a meeting with some of the drivers/ organizers prior to next years championship to discuss ways how we can go forward and encourage more drivers into the sport of Autotesting. 

 The 2022 Final results are - 

 1st Overall and 1st in Class – Gary Clark 

2nd Overall and 1st in Class – Gordon Clendinning 

3rd Overall and 1st in Class – James Morrison 

Most Improved Driver – Martin Gillespie

RALLYSCORE SAMSC Scottish Autotest Championship - Lockerbie 16 July

The next round of the 2022 RALLYSCORE SAMSC Scottish Autotest Championship is at Lockerbie on Sat 16th and Sun. 17th July, the British / Scottish round is on Sat. and there is an additional Clubman event on Sun. 17th. This is an excellent event with great flowing tests and a fantastic venue, even if you are not competing it is worth a visit to spectate to see the very best of Britain's Autotesters and easy to access from the motorway. SRs are in Downloads on the SAMSC Autotest page. The current Championship points table after 3 rounds - Gordon Clendinning - 90, Gary Clark - 88, Oly McCollum - 82, William Orr - 55, Martin Gillespie - 31, James Morrison - 30, Daniel Rae - 26, Ronnie Gillespie - 23, Colin Rae - 21.

2022 RALLYSCORE Scottish Autotest Championship - Date Change

The next round in the 2022 RALLYSCORE Scottish Autotest Championship was due to be the June Autotest held by Stonehaven & District Motor Club on Sun. 12th June, as they are having problems securing a venue we have decided to postpone the event until October, the date to be advised. The postponed event will now be the last round of the Championship and the overall awards may be presented at this event. The next round in the Championship will now be the Time Attack Autotest held by South of Scotland Car Club at Lockerbie on 16th July, this is also a British Autotest Championship round and if last years event was anything to go by, this will be a great event. There is a separate classification within the event for the Scottish Championship competitors and would be a fantastic experience for as many as possible. I believe the event is running over 2 days - Saturday is the Championship event and Sunday is an extra fun day, once I have more details I will notify everyone. Thanks Bill

 2022 Scottish Autotest Championship Regulations and Entry Form

 

Scottish Autotest Championship - Points before the final event

 After some rounds of the Championship were cancelled or postponed we have decided that the Championship counters will now be reduced to 7,

the last round will be the Kames Autotest on Sun. 31st October, which I am sure will be a fitting finale to the 2021 Championship which at one point did not look like it would be possible. As well as the Scottish Championship counter, Gordon Clendinning has organised a Maximum Attack MX5 Challenge, which already has a good entry, even if you are not competing it would be worth the trip to see some of these drivers in action.

The Championship will be decided on the drivers best 4 scores from 7 and as Gordon has scored Maximum points on each round he can not be caught on 128 points, bit it is still undecided who will be runner up as counting their 4 best scores, the current standings are Gary Clark on 115 points, James Morrison on 116 points and Paul Davidson on 117 points, so its all to play for on the final event.

Championship Points

See you at Kames.

Thanks

Bill

Final Round of Scottish Autotest Championship at Kames, 31/10/21

 The 2021 Championship will finish with the Maximum Attack Autotest at Kames on Sunday 21st October.

This promises to be a great event with excellent tests and a decent entry of MX5s already, and I am sure it will be a fitting finale to a much condensed Championship. 

Please support the Kames event with your entries, it will be worth the trip, you will not be disappointed.

The SRs are HERE in the Downloads section of the SAMSC Autotest page
