Anyone going to Harewood this weekend for the first hillclimb of the season? I'm making my competition debut in my Fiat Coupe so come along and say hello if you are there, please don't laugh too much at my times (or lines), I suspect I may well be about last in the class!

Not been before, but going this weekend. Is there a good place to stand/sit?
Thanks

Plenty of great viewing spots, from the end of the paddock by the last corner (quarry) is good, round farmhouse corner and also getting down to the Esses at the bottom of the track. My favourite place to watch is the outside of Orcahrd, the trouble is that it is quite a walk during which you can't see any action. You can see the track map here - http://www.harewoodhill.com/content/imgs/large/XNT...

Hope you have a great day!

If it's nice I'll be there and will say hi... all depends if my wife goes into labour or not.

All the way down the bottom of the hill is the only way tongue out.

Might pop down tomorrow if the weather is ok.

New numbered paddock layout as well.

I'll be down there too. Look out for an old grey beanpole with a camera or two laugh

Well done, Andy! I spotted the PH sticker in your back windscreen while your Coupe was in the paddock. Unfortunately I didn't have my "big" camera, so I didn't get any good shots - just my iPhone pics!

Thanks for the photos, great to get some as obviously you can't take them of yourself whilst driving! I had a great day, quite slow on my first run but had knocked 6 seconds off by my final run with the third and fourth having identical times - couldn't have done that if i tried!

I am indeed. And in case he says anything different, whilst I may have the slower car I am the better looking, more intelligent brother!
