Good to see your going to compete Rob. One night after work you and I are going to walk that course so I can point out a couple of tricky spots. One in particular can catch out front wheel drives big time. I warned britchie andd he didn't listen to me and promptly spun the first time up! He was lucky not to hit anything as a few others did. I finished 4th there last year behind an EVO, a modified Escort and GTR nissan. 3 minutes out of the heart of the city too, its a great venue, great views if you don't join them!! Its bumpy though. I hope that the forum members can get along to support Rob on the day. It really is good spectating too I would think. I haven't spectated there before but this year I spose I will be......

cheers guys will catch up with you very shortly. Need new tyres first aswell o well should be worth it.

Rob ! you won't need new tyres for the hill climb, just old ones ,remember new tyres have tread which is the enemy of track work unless its p*ing with rain.

The wheels don't stay on the ground all that well up there. They jump from tree root to same.

Might just buy one new conti and then ill have 2 good ones and 2 buggered ones just worried they wont pass SCRUTINEERING lol umm can any one tell me why on the list of ppl my car is down as 3600cc is this due to the turbo???

[gtimk5]

Yeah Rob, I reckon thats what it is.

For forced induction you have to multiply the capacity by 1.7, so should be 3060cc not 3600cc. Regardless, I doubt this would influence the engine capacity/induction type class that you are in

The Domain Hill Climb is well suited to the smaller Polo/Golf entrants! It is very tight, narrow and gives very little opportunity for the likes of GTRs and GT3s to open up

Good luck...you should enjoy it

I won't be going in this year as a competitor, last year I ran in the Imp, and along with Andrew had a great time.

Be a good learning experience for you Rob!
