CALLOW Hill racer Colin Willmott was a whisker away from victory in the last round of the MG Mayflower Trophy at Rockingham.

Last years champion and Willmott's team mate Barry Benham took the plaudits on the penultimate lap in the MG Car Club's Classic Rock meeting on May 23.

Willmott started on the second row after practice and was soon pressurising the leaders before taking first place.

But the MGZR racer couldn't hold off Benham who produced the move of the race to deny Willmott.

Willmott will be hoping for more of the same as the MGs travel for a double header at Spa in Belgium at the weekend.
