Fintray Hillclimb - 24/25th May

[-Ad-]

Heads up for Fintray this weekend.

Weather looks good for Saturday but not so much for Sunday.

Have always meant to go to this but never made it yet. Where is the best place to park for it?

[Sko77y]

There is only one place to park the field closest to the road, all sign posted! but it looks like you're driving into someone's drive, just be careful in low cars.

I might head along as per on the sat or sun.

As already said, it's a small driveway entrance that opens up to a large field/hill. Loads of space to park then follow the signs to the pit area to pay (£5).

I think they generally do practice runs in the morning and the main timed runs after lunch. The best spot to see the majority of the Hillclimb from is by the 2nd turn just after you've crossed over the track through the marshalled gates.

Are you competing Ad or spectating? I'll be about with the camera, indeed the 2nd turn is good, last year it was a marshalled marshy gate

Folks, if you are coming along to spectate just be aware that due to some heavy downpours the spectators parking area will be very wet at the bottom of the field so I advise staying up nearer the top on the flat area, parking in neat rows and then walking down to the entrance which is not too far anyway. Also advise to wear sensible footwear and not high heels as after all it is farm land.

Just spectating, I prefer to drive the Highlands and W.Coast rather than competing. Know a few competitors/marshals up there.

Might see you up there, I'll be the guy with the Canon 5D3 and White L lens up there near that corner.

Good advice there on the parking, that hill is steep and could be treacherous with all the rain forecast today.

Will be going on Saturday, brother taking part in Class B4 as you say Sunday looks to be wet.
