Charlie.... you won't be robbing anybody's slot, you have as much right as anyone to put your name on the list. We usually get more than 6 people on the list anyway.

At 10:30 am on Monday 27th April the list will be closed, then moderators and events staff will vote on which 6 cars will get a place on the hill run.

Quote:
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.

Can I ask a serious question please?

What is so special about this hill?

1in8 is simple, and 1in4 isn't even as steep as our 100yd drive. We live on a "two chevron" hill of 1in4 (and steeper in places) and have no trouble at all.
It's just part of normal life here in Cornwall.

1in4 hills are commonplace and I even cycle up them.

Puzzled,
Mick.

Mick, for modern cars it is no challenge really.
But it is the history of the place that is important.

Thanks but I use the iPhone app and doesn't seem to be an "add me" button. Do I have to access this from a pc?

 

[babyferrari]

Ok. Just worked it out. Should be on the list now.

it's historic,
