Double champion Derek Tohill got his bid for a hat trick off to a good start by dominating the opening round of the Parts for Cars National Rallycross Championship at Mondello Park.

Tohill once again beat off the challenge of regular rival Noel Greene who finished in second place. The winner led his fellow Dubliner in the heats to start the Supercar Final from pole position, and he led Greene all the way to guarantee another pole spot for the main race of the day, the Super Final.

However, he got a bad start and Greene led the opening lap, only for Tohill to dive up the inside at the first corner of lap two, staying ahead to the finish.
The next round of the National Rallycoss Championship takes place back in Mondello Park on the weekend of Apr 21 & 22
