Bored of driving up Drag Strips?
Fed up of the expense of Track Days?
Wanting more than the Haynes Sprint Track could offer?
Answer "HELL YEAH" to the above, then this years Track Attack is for you!
RRG11 will give you the chance to run your car up the world famous Prescott Hillclimb. Nows your chance to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Graham Hill and Stirling Moss ....
To grab a slice of the action this is all you need to do!
1) Cars need to be MoT'd (and you need to bring proof!) *
2) Drivers need to show their drivers license.
3) Their is a noise limited - this is 102db.
4) You ARE able to take a passenger.
5) Helmets are NOT required.
6) If originally factory fitted, seat belts MUST be worn.
7) Slick tyres are NOT permitted.
8) Your run WILL NOT be timed.
9) The Track Attack is run in two sessions. 10am-1pm and 2pm-close.
10) Cost is £20 per driver per session.
11) For your £20 you will have unlimited runs during that session.
12) There is a maximum of 60 cars in each session.
13) Drivers and passengers WILL need to sign a disclaimer.
14) Drivers DO need to attend a Drivers Briefing.
15) You may only drive YOUR car, that YOU have presented the MoT for
16) At the moment there is NO intention of preselling any of the Track Attack session.
*if you have a racecar (and therefore no Mot) and want to run it up the Hill please send me a PM.
THIS POST IS THE DEFINITIVE RULES AND REGS. ANY QUESTIONS ANSWERED, OR ANY INFO CHANGES, WILL BE ANSWERED BY AMMENDING THIS POST.

anyone brave enough for a passenger ride up in the truck??
- also keefy, if you book a track session, can you use more than 1 car??
ie, in the very unlikely event of me finishing a car, and get the car and the truck to prescott, can I drive each up the hill in the same session?? - or could we swap cars so we get a go in other peoples motors?

Age limit on passenger? My 13 yr old son is eager to accompany me. Must fix exhaust by then as mine is probably more like 130db!

So, from the first post I take it there's no pre-booking, is that right? First come first serve on the day? I guess 120 spaces should be more than enough.

Thanks guys, ammended the original post slightly now.
RatDat, you are correct, first come first served on the day. Our figures are calculated, 120 spaces should be bang on the money, no-one should miss out and everything should work smoothly.

shame about the noise limit but I'm still in. for a comparrison, how loud is 102db? My Locost was measured at Donington in at 99dB if that helps. Pop down to a trackday, race meeting or a test day and if you ask nicely beforehand I'm sure they'll check it for you. |
