At Wiscombe Park MGCC Hill Climb in an MG TC, 12 September 2020

This was Keith Beningfield’s second and final event of this rather truncated year at the MGCC Wiscombe Park Hillclimb in Devon on the 12 September. It’s a very picturesque 1000-yard hill in a mixture of parkland and woods. Usually this event attracts a good selection of pre 55 MG’s however this year due to Covid the event was down to one M Type, three P types and Keith’s TC.
The day went without any dramas, as is usual now no spectators, limited scrutineering, and noise testing and overall a muted atmosphere.
Keith’s TC performed well in its current configuration with TC gearbox and 4/44 final drive ratio,1387cc engine and good weather with a best time of 51.10 was only marginally slower than his personnel best of 50.72 set in 2014 with the Type 9 gearbox 1366cc engine and 4.875 final drive.
