Hillclimb - why are just F1 cars banned from setting times?
Discussion
Yes for the demonstration runs I agree but for the shootout it seems it should be the fastest cars available.
Looks likely the record will fall later this afternoon if the weather stays dry and whilst I agree the electric cars are an impressive spectacle I’d like to see a prepped f1 car have another crack.

Ultimately I think it's easy to take FoS for granted in this country, but it's one of the best events in the world attracting cars, manufacturers and drivers you simply won't see together anywhere else. The amount of spectators who travel from Europe, US etc just to attend is staggering, puts it into perspective.Looks likely the record will fall later this afternoon if the weather stays dry and whilst I agree the electric cars are an impressive spectacle I’d like to see a prepped f1 car have another crack.
Not saying it should be turned into a full on hill climb competition by any means but I assume it’s just politics that allows cutting edge vehicles to have a attempt at the record but not older ones as there is certainly no real health and safety basis.

Claiming outright records when only one category is allowed to compete is rather disingenuous.
This was my original point, well that and why it’s considered safer for the IDR and McMurtry to go full chat up the hill but not other cars. Think the timed shootout is a nice feature to round off the weekend.
I’m not against Electric cars at all, the McMurtry was an astonishing sight this weekend.
