It's the 1st hillclimb of the season @ Wiscombe Park near Honiton this coming weekend.

For those of you that aren't familiar with it, it's a stunning 1000yd long hillclimb that is great for spectating & photography. There is normally a wide variety of cars from Minis to Audi A8's & single seaters.

I'll be there in my trusty little 172 Cup on Sunday, there will be a few other PH'ers there too I'm sure, either competing or spectating.

If you wander around the paddock feel free to say Hello smile

Considering it is only 9.1 miles away, it would be rude not to pop up for a while smile

I will be there too, spectating.

Been a couple times before with the mitsubishi evo owners. Lovely venue and hill

Looking forward to it.
I should be in my grey evo, along with a white evo5 and an evo6 tommi mak edition.

5 Scoobies entered on Sunday Giles but not a single Evo for you to cheer on I'm afraid.

Got a lads weekend with my son this weekend as we have packed his mum off to Ireland for a Christening. Saturday is football at Plymouth Argyle, but this looks like it will be our Sunday fayre.

What time does it all start on Sunday morning? And presumably we can get fed from various vans there?

Practice normally starts about 10am, timed runs after lunch, normally about 1.30pm.

There is normally a food van, ice cream van & bar in the bottom paddock so you can wander around taking in all the cars whilst eating your lunch smile

Two issues with that:

1. I rarely find the "racing line", and

2. Forecast for Sunday looks even worse!

Luckily I quite like the wet, helps my underpowered French beastie catch up with the fast boys at the front! Hopefully it won't be a wash out like last year frown

Had a great day at Wiscombe today.. now relaxing at home with a beer. The Panda got hustled to a third in class. Never really dried under the trees but was very entertaining, and weather was much better than the forecast.

Thanks to the organisers and marshals.

Very soggy there today.

Glad I took the Rangey, not so glad I didn't wear a decent pair of boots.

Very entertaining, but a little hard to follow what was going on.

Spent an hour pulling people out of the car park after it all fizzled to a halt around 2.45.

Got some great shots of Escorts and that beautiful Mk2 Cortina going around the Martini Hairpin.

Very sadly they had to call a halt at one timed run today due to the horrendous conditions in the bottom paddock, it is normally even better, promise!

And the old Fords are lovely & still very competitive 30ish years on!
