1/4 mile times for Hillclimb cars
Posted: Sun May 10, 2026 6:30 pm
Was just watching a video and it went into a usual YouTube rabbit warren of random videos. It ended up with the Brighton speed trials. I know Damian and the legacy have gone very quick there but wondered about other single seaters etc from the hillclimb world that have done a non prepped 1/4 mile? There is a video of a Gould up in Scotland doing a 1/4 mile but I would be interested in times for single seater hillclimb cars. Maybe without wing etc. I’ve always wondered what a 1 litre car would do, as they run out of puff at about 80 on acceleration compared to the bigger engines. V8 would be interesting in comparison to a high power turbo saloon
