Nsw Hillclimb Champs Round 2 & 3 At Bathurst

[LSX-438]

A massive WELL DONE to Staurt Inwood smashing his own records this weekend at Bathurst, running in the esses and mountain straight (25.26 and 46.23). Well done man, that is a huge effort. I think Stuart also managed 4th outright which is insane considering the open wheeler classes (which were amazing to watch also).

Now that i have run the event myself i can appreciate how difficult it is, on cold tyres and brakes no less. I have a lot to learn but can't wait to get back there for another shot. In some ways it's much more difficult than regular circuit racing i reckon.

Any footage Stuart?

Was also nice to catch up with a few of the supersprinters this weekend too

Great event well organised too. I had a ball. Great weekend.

Thanks Duncan - big congrats to you too, good to see you enjoyed - Well done - as an unregistered championship competitor, the class you ran Esses Hillclimb you detroyed the record by 3.58 seconds with a 28.66 and mountain straight also destroying the previous record by 5.19 seconds with a 50.42. As a first timer at Bathurst these results are outstanding. It is said hillclimbing is a good starting point for motorsport - this is true and yes there is a lot of waiting, but it is surprising how buggered you can be at the end of a good days competition.

I also beleive this is an excellent way to progress your car feel. As you say, cold tyres and brakes can be interesting, (especially with all that concrete) but I beleive this has good preparation for any level in motorsport.

Hope all enjoyed!!

Here's some footage of my record runs. Go the Datto's
