1991 RAC British Hillclimb Championships @ Prescott

The 1991 British Hillclimb Championships at Prescott.
In the 1980s the Pilbeam Single Seaters had been having a near-stranglehold on the British Hillclimb Championship.
In the 1990s, it continued and even intensified with Pilbeam's dominance of the sport, with the first eight championships of the decade being won by a driver in one of the marque's cars.
By the time Roger Moran clinched the title in 1997, Pilbeam drivers had won 18 of the 22 championships since 1977, a dominance rivalled only by the Cooper years of the 1950s and early 1960s.
However, change was afoot, and the 1998 championship went to a Gould driver, David Grace.
The future CEO of Rockingham Motor Speedway stamped his authority on the championship with a hat-trick of titles as the 20th century closed.
As of 2004, every champion since had been behind the wheel of a Gould.
The hillclimb world was shocked in 1995 by the death of one of its leading lights, when Mark Colton was sadly killed at Craigantlet.
He thus became only the third driver to lose his life in the history of the BHCC.
