The weekend of May 8th ( Open Hillclimb) & 9th (MCL Motorhomes MSA British Championship Hillclimb) provides an opportunity to see the cream of the UK’s hillclimb competitors in action, plus the Ferrari Owners Club’s superb machines screaming up the hill on both days.
Overlooking the lovely Wharfe Valley between Leeds & Harrogate, the Hillclimb course boasts the longest permanent track in the country.
A fascinating variety of sporting vehicles will be taking part in addition to the Ferraris, including Lotus, Porsche, TVR, MG and Austin Healey, plus everything from hot hatchbacks to specially designed single seater, Formula1-style racing cars – all competing against the clock for the honour of being fastest up the hill, with a dramatic “top 10 shoot-out” to round the event off.
Top competitors will be accelerating up to 120mph on sections of the narrow, twisting tarmac course and spectators will be able to get close to all the action, as well as being able to look round the cars in the paddock and chat to the drivers.
There’s on-site catering and refreshments, perfect spots for picnics and an informative commentary relayed around the course to keep everyone up to speed on times being set or records being broken.
For a great day out, in lovely surroundings, with exciting performances from some extremely skilled competitors, Harewood Speed Hillclimb takes some beating.
Best of all, entrance for spectators is just £10 each, with £2.00 off vouchers available to car club members.
All dates are detailed on the website, so visit harewoodhill.com today to get a taste of the action – then visit Harewood itself on the 8th or 9th to experience the sounds, the smell and the sheer speed of Yorkshire’s premier motorsports event!
