The 2021 year has been a difficult but interesting season at Gurston Down.
The first meeting of the year in May was a learning curve for everyone. Thankfully, everything went to plan, well almost. The highlight of the British Hill Climb Weekend was Wallace Menzies setting a new hill record in his Gould GR59M with the whole weekend’s competitive runs being streamed live to the world by Rich and Eleanor of Hillclimb.tv.
We learnt a great deal about the “new world” of running a motorsport event under Motorsport UK’s Covid regulations. There are so many people who worked tirelessly in the background to make our season happen and the committee thanks them all.
In many of the previous years, the Championship had already been won by the July meetings but 2021 was different. The double points at the Sunday, August meetings changed class and overall championship positions significantly.
After the August Championship rounds, there was a three-way tie and the winner was decided by the tie-break rules. The winner being Tim Pitfield.
The Result of the Turbo Dynamics Gurston Down Championship 2021 are:

The Turbo Dynamics BARC SW Top Ten Challenge title had already been one before the August meetings but many of the places were up for grabs.
Turbo Dynamics BARC SW Top Ten Challenge Champion is Tony Wiltshire:
Some outstanding performances by Tony during the season lead him to score a maximum of 50 points.
The challenge had a massive number of qualifiers in 2021. It wasn’t just a racing car-dominated challenge, there was Neil Turner and his Mini twice. Steve Holland’s performance in August even shocked Tony, Steve took second on Sunday and third on Saturday.
It was great to see such a wide variety of cars in the challenge and we think everyone liked the run-offs.
The Result of the Turbo Dynamics BARC SW Top Ten Challenge 2021 was:
