Does anyone on here own or know anything about this Sierra Cosworth that was competing at Wiscombe Hill Climb on Saturday?

Yea he was going alright! What kind of specs are you both running?

And was it you that had the brush with the scenery exiting Saw Bench hairpin?

Did this car used to be blue. Theirs a few vids of the blue one on the breyspeed website. When I spoke to him it was t38 light blues akmed banjo engine setup. Adjustable beam and 3:9 diffs. Spun all 4 wheels off the line was always my favourite car their

The scenery jumped out at me i think i got on the power a bit early out of sawbench and clipped the bank on the outside with the front wheel on my last timed run. No damage done though and i was back again on Sunday. Just trying a bit too hard

My car is probably somewhere around 360bhp, not sure about the sierra but from his times i'd say it was well over 400bhp. He was only about 0.2 secs off the class record on Sunday and it wouldn't surprise me if he beats it soon. The car and driver are both very fast

We'll both be back there again on Saturday and Sunday this weekend for the Woolbridge events.

If you see a guy there in a bright orange Westfield please please ask him if he's the Stig! He's the art Ed on Classic Ford, and we constantly wind him up about it!

I didn't hang around to see the aftermath but didn't think it was that bad to send people running If you see me around come and say hello

I'll keep an eye out for the Stig
