Good laugh today. JK was up in his GT2RS, McLaren Senna arrived mid morning. Loads of quick things, TF Ferrari, 675LT and a little red car from Somerset.
Back there tomorrow and can recommend it, plenty for the kids to rinse your wallet and it’s all about raising money for charity.
They’re auctioning seats in various cars for rides up the hill, had a fair amount of interest in the Atom, lots of smiling people and people just enjoying cars.
Well worth a trip if you’re bored. I’ll stick a clip of the second run up later.

Went today and it was really good.
That Senna looks awesome in the flesh!
Lots of interesting old cars and bikes. I had a long chat with the owner of the Napier-Railton 24L aero engined beast who was very passionate about the car.
It's just a shame that the hedge is a little too high and there isn't enough seating. You have to stand right up against the hedge to see anything - they really need to either lower the hedge a little or put straw bales for people to sit on. I think next time we'll get tickets for the grandstand seating area.

FTFY 
I went yesterday too. As I've said in another lounge - there's an enormous and fantastic selection of interesting vehicles to see in the paddock, but IMO the hill climb itself is dull and hard to view.
Oh - and the food is better and rather less expensive than my experience last weekend at the Revival.
Only 30 minutes from me, and an event Ive being meanig to get to for a while....
Finally went this afternoon. I was amazed just how big the event has become, I remember seeing pics from the early events, and it was like a few mates having a laugh.
Now though, its almost a mini Goodwood. I like the way the cars now have too drive through the village to get back, allows loads more exposure.....
Anyways...
Few more on Flickr
Dont get many of these to the pound....

If you’re going to get upstaged, best it’s properly done 
Top man.
I travel up from Kent each year for the Kop Hillclimb - the paddock is a wonderful place. Top man.
From where I was stood, in the woods, up the hill, the Atom was the quickest car that went past yesterday (Sunday) morning. Great stuff

The morning run was great, made a total hash of the afternoon one From where I was stood, in the woods, up the hill, the Atom was the quickest car that went past yesterday (Sunday) morning. Great stuff
Having a McLaren Senna in my mirrors on the start line was totally surreal. Awesome event, as always. The passenger rides, I was told, raised in excess of £2700 over the two days. yonex said:

Trouble is, after seeing your Atom, I’ve been scanning the classifieds, the voice in my head telling me it’s what I need!!
