Ahhh, Bank
holidays; 3 days away from the 9-to-5 grind and what better way to relax that
to watch an epic battle between internal combustion and gravity! That’s right,
RSM has been Hill climbing! No less
spectacular than the racing was the venue; Shelsley Walsh, deep in the gorgeous
Worcester countryside provided the back drop for the third round of
the Midland Hill Climb Championship as well as a rounds of the Richard Egger Insurance
H.S.A Speed Championship and Paul Matty Lotus Championship.
With three championships
to take in the diversity of cars was huge; everything from near standard road
cars to full on racers, tuned to the brink and with every last gram shaved off
them.
In true British
Bank Holiday style the 1000 yards of pristine tarmac was thoroughly lubricated
throughout the day, which certainly kept the drivers on their toes and some of
them in the hedges!
The rain didn’t stop
local Simon Durling bringing out his amazing Brabham BT18. With 3.5 Litres of
V8 loveliness it made braving the inclement conditions worthwhile on its own!
Phillip Marshall
was out in his D-Type Replica making the most of the damp conditions. This car
is fully road legal and has been driven all round Europe and even made it as far
as the Nurburgring! Special mention has
to go to Phill and his Son/ Pit Crew David who hooked me up with some free
tickets! Thanks guys.
Few cars look as
good standing still as a step front  Alfa Giulia Coupe, but the sight of one
blasting through the countryside is sure to stir your soul!
Twin SU’s give the
suck to match the blow on this Smith F2.
It might be the 80’s
rally-hero-wannabe in me or just the sound of 5 cylinders boosted and banging
that made me fall in love with this pair of short wheel base Audi Quattro’s.
Head over to our Flickr
stream for the rest of the pics and check out the Shelsley Walsh site for updates and dates of future events. The results for the weekends racing can
