Apologies if there is already a thread running,but if you are unaware..."The Chateau Impney Hill Climb will see no less than 200 competitors sprint their way up the challenging 1,000-yard course against the clock, in a high-octane display of power, speed and skill. Some of the most famous and successful competition cars that raced between the inception of the motorcar and 1967 will be put to the test, and the winner of the Hill Climb will be awarded a prestigious trophy, commemorating the part that the Hagley & District Light Car Club played in Chateau Impney’s motorsport heritage"

Had a great day out there yesterday, hope it was as good today but suspect the weather wasn't as kind!

Took a little while to find the best vantage points - I think on the outside of the track once past the front of the chateau was probably the best - you're close to the track and can see quite a lot of it with a tight corner and little chicane

They could do with a couple more track crossing points to help people get around, and moving the grandstands a bit closer to the action

A good turnout of competition cars though, more ERAs in one place than I've seen for a while, and some spectacular fire spitting veteran and vintage monsters smile

We'll certainly go back assuming they run it again next year
