Citroen man heads the pack in multi-class challenge.
Since the BTRDA Clubmans Rallycross Championship was resurrected for 2014, the overall Gold Star crown has been claimed by drivers from the Emerald Isle.
In that first year back, Kieran Curran won the title aboard his SuperModified Vauxhall Corsa, before John Ward secured back-to-back titles with his Production category Peugeot 106.
The overall crown is won by the highest points scorer across the whole series, excluding four-wheeldrive and Junior classes. That means that come the end of each campaign, drivers are often competing against rivals that they never meet on track.
In 2014, it was Welshman Jeff HopeDavies’ first year in the sport and he challenged for overhaul honours, eventually finishing second. Taking a maximum score in the final round wasn’t enough to stop Curran taking the title after he had matched HopeDavies’ points score in the finale.
