What is it? what happens there?

[sav man]

what are the safety requirments?

[t01-100]

Alan - Its a CAMS approved tarmac hillclimb being run by CMI Car Club. Its sorta like a targa stage, but only with no navigator and you get to repete the course 7/8 times and the quickest time of the day from you runs is the one that counts. Everything from old Mini's and Alfa's thru to GT-R's, Evo's will compete. Total field would be approx 40/45.

sav man - Basic club day stuff - battery sticker, 1kg fire extinguisher, secondary bonnet catch (leather belt would do), minimum CAMS L2S licence. All easy stuff.

congrats on the win t01-100. pity the about the weather though.

I watched most of the morning session but left after lunch. I heard from andrew (aqua/green GTI Golf) that you came first with a much quicker time than the rest of the field so well done.

Thank JaFF

The course was very slippery in places and extremely greasy. When I arrived at lunch time I herd that a 55.x was the quickest. In my first run I was all over the show only managing a 56.x. I worked out how the windscreen wipers worked and dropped the tyre pressures for the second run. Seemed to work OK with a 51.x second pass, but suffered wheel spin of the start and overshot the bottom hairprin. I tidied up the start and took a better line at the bottom hairpin for the final run of 50.3. That black Evo Lancer was the next quickest with a 53.x

Road re-open time came before I could another go so couldn't crack a 49, although I believe it would have been very achievable simply going into the top hairpin a little deeper.

Great event and well run. Can’t wait to do Rally Tas in the car.

yeah, no doubt you would have if the event had been on Saturday.

I was a bit disappointed with the r33 gtr. Everytime I saw it he was boucing along on rev limiter! no wonder he blew of the intercooler piping twice!

[t01-100]

That course would have been amasingly fast on Saturday.

I think Andrew with the R33 is still sussing the car, his last competition car was an XU-1 GTR, so just a little bit of difference!
