KNYSNA MOTORING NEWS - While there were a total of 139 drivers who took part in the 2019 Simola Hillclimb, two drivers paid extra-special attention to detail with their cars, and were specially awarded the Dave Charlton Award.

The recipients of the Dave Charlton Award weren't necessarily the fastest up the hill by any stretch of the imagination, but they were the two drivers who, during the event most reflected South African race legend Dave Charlton’s spirit of impeccable attention to detail, meticulous preparation and commendable performance. 

This year, the Classic Car Friday Dave Charlton Award went to local Ron Hollis, while the King of the Hill Dave Charlton award went to Martin van Zummeren.

For more information on their performances at the Hillclimb and what earned them the awards, keep an eye out for this week’s edition of the Knysna-Plett Herald.
