Re: Rising costs getting out of hand


In all honesty as a fairly new person to speed events, sprints could almost be behind closed doors, there is little to no spectator interest.

Re: Rising costs getting out of hand

Last year Rich spent nearly as much time working on Hillclimb TV as he did in his everyday job! His commitment to (a) providing the service, (b ...

Re: 2026 Predictions

Having seen Wallace & Will at Harewood on Sunday I suspect Wallace will be triumphant this year.
