Running in parallel with the Gurston Down Hillclimb Championship, and at the same meetings, The Top Ten Challenge sees points being awarded to the ten fastest registered competitors at each meeting, irrespective of which class they run in.

Ten points go to the overall fastest contender, down to one point for the 10th fastest.

So, as you might expect, the Challenge tends to be dominated by the larger capacity single-seater racing cars running at the end of the entry, though it is by no means impossible for the Supersports or Sports Libre cars to get amongst the points, or indeed the smaller capacity racing cars.

And should Mother Nature decide to interfere by raining part way through the meeting, then the whole Challenge is thrown wide open.

The remarkably rapid smaller single-seaters, particularly the bike-engined Force and PCD, often spring surprises, especially if conditions are less than perfect, when their nimble handling can overcome the power deficit to the bigger engined cars.

As in the Gurston Championship, a drivers best three scores count towards overall position in the Challenge, and with the race for "Best Time of the Day" being so competitive at Gurston these days, predicting a Challenge winner is no easy task. The tussle for supremacy in the Challenge is just as ferocious as in the Gurston Down Championship.
