Fancy learning how to hillclimb? The Association of Hillclimb and Sprint Schools (AHSS) school at Prescott, on the outskirts of Cheltenham, has four annual school days available to anyone. The hillclimb school day counts as a MSA instructional signature day if you already have a 'B' licence and want to upgrade it to an 'A'.
The Prescott Hillclimb Driver's School was established in 1984, for providing expert tuition to experienced hill-climbers and newcomers alike. Speed Hillclimbing is now more popular than ever before. More and more drivers are taking to the hills where true sportsmanship thrives and where motorsport can be enjoyed without the pressure of commercialism so often found in other sections of the sport.
Prescott has a unique place in the history of hill-climbing. Here Stirling Moss had his first drive in a racing car, the first ever Cooper made its competition debut and in later years Peter Collins and Graham Hill and many other famous names joined the ranks of Prescott competitors.
The objective is to develop existing skills and to teach you new ones. Each ascent is recorded by video camera and receives individual comments by the instruction team, so you can follow your progress through the day, correct mistakes and experience the satisfaction that comes from applying correct car control.
The next school is on 27 July, and costs £175 each.
PistonHeads will be featuring a report shortly from someone who's done the course already...
