Northern Ireland’s William Creighton has won the British Rally Championship title for the first time.
Creighton and co-driver Liam Regan finished fourth at the Cambrian Rally to comfortably claim top spot.
The 27-year-old Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy driver needed to finish no lower than eighth to win the title and he duly obliged with a safe drive in his Toyota GR Yaris.
It was a stark contrast in emotions for Creighton compared with 12 months ago, when he narrowly missed out on the BRC title to Chris Ingram at the final round of the season.
It is the latest success in Creighton’s growing resume, as the BRC title comes after triumphs in the Junior World and British Rally Championships.
The rally was won by Max McRae, nephew of the late Colin McRae. Creighton’s title challengers Romet Jurgensen and Meirion Evans, who both needed to win in Wales, were second and third.
