I know some of you attending Brooklands have expressed an interest in doing the hill climb. There is only one hill climb this year, which is in the afternoon and there is a track session in the morning instead (read below first, it's not flat out track action!) From the attendance list, I see the following people are interested: Hovedan Nismo Marco20valveT + passenger. Now, the above will get preference, as their interest was stated first. Otherwise, can people let me know who's interested in doing the track or the hill climb? Need three Coupes for the hillclimb (which I currently have if they are sticking with the hill climb) and need three Coupes for the track. When I have three for each, I will need names, Coupe model and registration numbers please. Below is a message from the organiser, with details of the events and times, etc: This is the info I am sending out to drivers. I need three cars for the track and three for the hill.
Schedule 08.30 Gates open 11.00 Drivers' briefing track 12.00 Track demo start 13.00 Track demo end 13.00 Lunch break 14.00 Drivers' briefing test hill 14.45 Test hill start 15.30 Test hill end 17.00 Event closed
The activity on the Mercedes Benz World test track will take place from 12.00 to 13.00. Drivers' briefing is at 11.00 sharp in the Education Centre (by the Shell Pagoda). All cars must be assembled by the river bridge next to the aircraft park by 11.30 sharp. It might take you some time to extricate your car from the display areas so make an allowance for this.
The cars will run behind a Lamborghini pace car driven by an MBW instructor. Overtaking is not possible due to the narrow track. It is hoped to run 6 groups of 10 cars for four laps. Where possible marques will be grouped together but consideration will be given to running slower cars from varied marques together, in any event slower cars will be to the rear of the group. Supercars and special cars will be run in the last group to complete the time available in the session. This will be at least four laps but likely to be more.
Drivers must attend a briefing for Test Hill in the Education Centre at 14.00.
Passengers for the track demos are permitted if 16 years of age or over. Children passengers for test hill must be properly seated and supervised. Crash helmets are not required

Is it worth mentioning the potential damage that 'could' occur to the engine during the hill climb? I know it's probably a common sense thing but I felt for chap who's turbo gave up the ghost two years ago (didn't go last year).

It's a small hill - 1st and 2nd gear, so if your car is in good condition I would not think there would be any issues unless you launch in hard!

Of course I'd like to do both, but happy to settle for the hill climb as looked like fun last year. The processional track time would make my "aggressive driving" blood boil Hill Climb: 1. Hovedan 2. Nismo (only if no one else wants a go!) 3. Marco20valveT + passenger (only if no one else wants a go!) Track: 1. Alexis 2. Marco20valveT + passenger 3.
