Just curious as no one can remember the last Ultima seen at a hillclimb event,just been looking into the regs and which class I could run in.
Considering it, either this summer or next depending on my free time this year..

im a club member at Shelsley Walsh and as of yet to take it up the hill.. ive always used something else as felt the car a bit too big for that hill as its so unforgiving..

Upto you, be careful at crossing and bottom 'S'

I was considering doing a couple of runs in something smaller to begin with and work my way up to using the GTR, possibly an MG Midget (as I have a soft spot for early seventies round wheel arch midgets!) ...

I love my Ultima but I don't see it as a hill climb tool. Much cheaper cars would be more fun (and probably faster). For Ultima money (£30k to £60k) you could have an F2 or even F1 inspired purpose built hill climb rocket.

I suppose it depends on if you want to just 'have a go' or if you want to be competitive!

undoubtably they would indeed be faster,
but I would be doing it purely for fun..
