Harewood Speed Hillclimb - Where Beauty Meets the Beasts

Harewood Speed Hillclimb occupies a stunning setting overlooking the beautiful Wharfe valley, between Leeds & Harrogate.

For 2010 there’s a full calendar of events planned, with competitors driving everything from tuned hatchbacks to screaming, F1-engined single seaters – real beasts that demand exceptional driving skills as they blast up the UK’s longest permanent hillclimb course at speeds approaching 120mph.

11 events make up the 2010 season, running from April to September, including 2 MSA British Championship rounds when the cream of British hillclimbers visit this scenic Yorkshire venue.

Classes include vintage, classic, MG, Ferrari, Porsche, TVR, Scimitar, Austin Healey, Lotus , Ginetta etc, plus a wide selection of open wheeled specialist race cars. 

Harewood’s viewing areas are fantastic, enabling spectators to get close to the trackside, look round the cars and talk to the drivers. It’s a great place to spread a blanket, relax and enjoy a picnic whilst watching the action, but catering is provided at every meeting and some events include attractions for the kids too.
