I didn't realize people cared so much about the FOS hill climb record. They should probably start thinking about more spectator safety if drivers are going to go for it.

They need to take it to Nords or GTFO.

Then it wouldn't be a British Hill Climb. Its more about the spectacle than classed racing.

That is my favourite video of this car to date.
I was surprised at how stressed Mr Catchpole looked at times driving the car.
