For the third straight year, Wouter Bowman is the undisputed King of the Hill.

The Nanaimo driver posted the fastest time once again at the 60th annual Knox Mountain Hillclimb held on the May long weekend in Kelowna.

Bowman, who also won the historical race in 2015 and 2016, zoomed up the 3.5 km track in best time of one minute 47.69 seconds in the GT-O class in his Mazda RX-7.

Andre Marziali, also in GT-O, was second in his BMW-M3 in 1:50.09.

More than 70 drivers and their cars from the Pacific Northwest took part in the annual two-day event.
