Brooklands hill run

The hill run is a great way to show off the power of your car and has been brilliant in past years!

This is taken from the brooklands website and is probably the best way to describe it:

Test Hill was built in 1909 as another facility to encourage use of the track for development and test work. It is 352 feet long and divided into three sections, starting with a gradient of 1 in 8, then 1 in 5 and the top third has a gradient of 1 in 4. It was used by manufacturers to test both the ability of cars to climb steep hills and also of their brakes to stop them coming down.

The Fiat Forum have been asked if some of our members would like to demonstrate their cars on the hill for the viewing public.

We have only been allocated three slots this year although in previous years we have got more on the day so we will keep our fingers crossed for that.

anyone interested in doing a run if you could post your username and the car you want to take below (a link to a thread if you have one would be good as well) and the three cars will be selected by the events team and mods.

we don't have any requirements or preference on the cars but priority will be given to those who haven't done it before and drivers will have to be able to attend a briefing at 14:00

we did want to post this thread sooner but we only received confirmation of our three slots today so sorry about the short notice guys

please note that the cars selected will need to be able to leave the stand easily so may not be parked on the bank until after the hill run :)

any questions can be asked in this thread or the brooklands event thread hear.

ild defo give it ago again!!

whats the track run thingy at brooklands this year?

ally

then make a new post with your username and car ect so we can keep track and you might get lucky :)

its demonstrating some rare and special cars going round the track, should be a good watch, shame we haven't been invited to do that :(

this is from the brooklands website

the purpose-built test track at Mercedes-Benz World has been made available for a demonstration of some very special cars at 12 o’clock. These include the superb Ferrari Tasman Dino single-seater driven by Sally Mason-Styrron, DK Engineering’s Ferrari 166 MM by Vignale and Oakley Design’s 640bhp Ferrari 458. In the afternoon there will be the traditional session for classics on Test Hill. Vehicles for both activities will be by invitation only.
