PAUL Swift, of Darlington, has won the MSA and BTRDA British Autotest championships.

He started his championship challenge with three wins; missed four events due to British Motor Show commitments, then won three of the five remaining events to win the British title. In Wolverhampton, he clinched his sixth outright win and added the BTRDA title to his name.

"I am absolutely delighted to have won both championships. It has been a tough season."

Now he will represent England in an international Autotest in Warwickshire on October 16.

Paul's triumphant championship success can be seen in a documentary, featuring Paul and his father Russell, on BBC1's Inside Out programme at 7.30pm on October 4.
