Hi,

my new allround competition car (classic rally, autotest, autosolo, hillclimb, sprint) is arriving any day so I thought I'd better start booking this year's events. I'm ok for the rallies and autotests / solos but I need to change championship for sprints / hillclimbs becuase the last one was marque-specific. I'll only do a couple of sprints / hills this year but it would be nice to be in a class with another competitor or against a realistic target time. I realise this is going to be difficult but there might be a class out there that would suit it / me.

Car is an absolutely standard 1981 Mk1 Golf GTI 1600.

Any ideas?

You'll probably struggle to find another competitor in a similar car, that said the ACSMC and AEMC currently run their standard classes with a break at 1600cc. Might be perfect.

Excellent answer and good news. Thanks. AEMC (I'm already a memeber of an Eastern Club) has a class for standard cars up to 1600, so I might have a chance there. It even had two regular competitors last year!
ACSMC has a similar class but I can't see from a quick glance if it has any competitors.

I think it's quite popular at some events (you might have to trawl some re)sults, they had ten entered at the Abingdon Carnival and the event classes were set up to suit:

I'm the only entry in the ACSMC hillclimb series and have only down a couple of events, so sprinting might be more competitive..

ASWMC hillclimb championship may be too much of a trek for you but there is always a good turn out in A2 roadgoing 1400 - 1800cc and there is bound to be someone putting in similar times to compete with. There is another Golf in that class although it is slightly 'improved' over standard.
