Season finale - 400+hp 993RSCS hillclimb movies
Discussion
Here you go lads, the last two movies have now been posted on our new (in development) website, featuring the last two Championship winning runs up of my 993RS-R up Longleat and Prescott hillclimbs over the weekend of 22nd & 23rd Sept. You can find them by following this link:

I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed the driving.

No fences were harmed during the making of these videos.
Sarky git. 
Impressive vids though Colin.
Might try and get to a few next year as a spectator - looks like could be some good fun to be had - guess people take don't take themselves too seriously in this?

I would not compete in this Championship if it were not for the people involved at all levels of the sport. From the Club organisers (Paul & Steve), the event organisers, the scrutineers, timekeepers, marshals, fellow competitors and their other halfs; without one exception, everyone is there to have a good time whilst helping you as much as possible to do the same. The only time that I am serious is when I am behind the wheel however unlike circuit racing, the man you have to beat is yourself since the ultimate goal of Speed events like the ones shown is personal improvement and beating your competitors always takes second place to improving your own personal best. A good example of this occured at Prescott, where the course record was set by my main rival on the day Bob Mortimer in his sub-1000kg 3.0RS replica with a time of 46.24secs, however the Championship regulations penalise his time by 2% because of he is running on slicks, hence my time of 46.42secs set the new Porsche Club record. We both enjoyed the day immensely and I was as much made up for Bob setting the new course record as much as I was for winning the event.
So, it is fun, but it's definitely serious fun that requires a lot of committment.

Yep, its also much more accessible financially compared to circuit racing. I may do a few rounds next year myself. Couldn't stop circuit racing though. It offers many different challenges and the buzz is incredible.

I wish I could afford to do both, but aside from the crazy cost of racing at the front these days, the prospect of totaling my RS Clubsport through no fault of my own just does not fit with the depth of my pocket. Perhaps we should do a trackday together Steve....Steve R

Colin,
You should try a SC 968 next year and see what you can do.
Nice videos.
Marc tried our 968SC a couple of years ago at the Brands Sprint - allowing for the fact that it was his first competitive event, I beat him by around 7 seconds in a lap and a half. To put this in perspective, on the previous days practise session I was lapping consistently 1 second a lap behind Pete Morris in his 996Cup - him on newish Michelin Sport Cups and me on a tired set of Dunlop Supersport Race and standard RS suspension. I now have about 30hp more and a suspension development plan is afoot....You should try a SC 968 next year and see what you can do.
Nice videos.
