Didn't have the best weekend as I stripped 1st's syncro so wouldn't select 1st from a standstill but you could still get into 1st on the down change when you were moving.
This lead to 2nd 7k launches to get it of the line, still manged to light my 255 888's up tho lol
Here's my last and fastest run which placed me 5th out of 12, if i'd had 1st i'm pretty sure i'd have grabbed 4th but the top 3 were well out of reach.
A 996 GT3, R35 GTR and EVO 5RS respectively, and other 911 pipping me to 4th by 4 tenths of a second.

Had a couple of moments on that run too, got 2 wheels on the grass coming ot of Fletcher Dellow which is left hander before you drop to the down hill section and again into Muesum the blind right hander near the end when it tried to swap ends, it had just started to rain too.

So with all those excuse out the way have a watch, there will be some track side video of the run to follow too.

Check out Tony Bunkers run in the GTR who left the line after me you can just make out the 2nd gear launch and big number 11's I left


Rich

 

good effort managing to run with a broken gear. road looks so narrow. no room for error there. well done

 

Impressive

 

Very good mate, does look narrow!

Cheers Paul

 

nice one rich ,shame about the gearbox mate


do you drive to the hill climbs rich or trailer the car ?

 

Cheers mate, ye there's not of the black stuff but plenty of the green stuff lol

Cheers mate

Cheers mate, most UK Hillclimbs are this narrow to be fair

Cheers James I drive it there and back, the drive home was a pain in the ass

Rich

 

fair play driving that monster home lol.

what else can you do to improve your times aginst the big boys ,have yopu thought of stripping it out and caging it or is that a step too far

 

A BW 7670 EFR will help, can't strip it out due to rules in the Road Going Class.
And of course you can't beat experiance, Robert in the GT3 and Tony in the GTR have been Hillclimbing since Noah was a lad.
I'll keep developing it as far as I can until I feel I can't drive it any faster then a Single Seater might be calling.
Rich

 

What are the switches that you were flicking on and off at the end?

 

Your sierra handles well for an old girl. You love that rev limiter too lol.

 

Great to see a cossie being used

Looks great fun

 

i love this cossie, it looks and sounds awesome. good to see one being abused too

 

i would nt like to be hurtling it around like you do rich without a cage

your a braver man than me lol

what difference in weight would you think there is between the sierra and the gt3/gtr mate ?

 

That looks great fun!

 

The one on the left is Antilag I was just turning on and off for abit of crowd pleasing on the return back down the hill.

Cheers mate, it's better just to give it alittle bounce off the limiter than change up between corners.

Cheers Paul it is

Cheers mate

I wouldn't mind a cage to be fair, I'll get one fitted at some point.
The GT3 weighs 1380kg standard but is probably alittle lighter as Robert has Magnesium wheels fitted.
The GTR weighs in at a whooping 1800kg but is remarkabley nimble as you can see.

Cheers mate it certainly is.

Here's the same run but filmed from Triangle
