Harewood Hill Climb - 19th September
Discussion
My bro and I made it down, but didn't get there early enough to get in the trackside car park. Its difficult to know who is PH and who isn't, and I wasn't prepared to sidle up to random people to ask. I did however see a number of pimps and homeys crowding around a black E36 M3 Evo convertible that was parked a few cars along from mine. Nice Quad exhaust conversion by the way....
I don't know if anyone else was at the final corner (can't remember its name) to see that heavily turbocharged Audi S2 come flying round completely sideways before going straight off into the gravel trap. They certainly do try at these events. I heard that moments before he hit 100 past the speed trap.

I believe that if he had been under 60 sec he would have won the championship. I was stood opposite the time board. He seemed to be a little slow in the middle and then really went for it. He flew past us, registered 100 on the speed trap and just kept going! You instinctively knew he was too fast for the final bend. Great attempt though.

That'll have been us then
Assuming it was the one parked next to the subtle yellow 348 and blue Cerbera and Chimeara.

Simon Bainbridge (Audi S2 driver) did win the championship. Then thanked the marshals for getting him out of the gravel on many occasions this year............
Last corner is Quarry
