I'd often heard about this and if you're of a particular age you'll know that a certain Mr. J Stewart cut his teeth on this in 1961.

It's 1,425 yards and rises 400 feet; the AC Cobra Mk IV CRS is not the car of choice for this as its ground clearance is only 3.5 inches - still, its silencers act as quite effective skid plates.
My objective was to beat the time of the Mercedes...(set in 1906)...and you can see how we fared here, but listen closely to the navigator's advice and helpful comments...

The hill climb itself is fun, but getting there over the unmade gravel road was a nightmare; it was a close run thing with the Mercedes but we made it! (with 20 seconds in hand)
