🌞🏎️ Hot weekend and hot times! 🏎️🌞

The British Hillclimb Championship returned to Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb for the bank holiday weekend. The event had a great vibe all weekend with everyone enjoying the sunshine.

Tom Weaver competing for the first time in the father/son Evo 3 was quick to settle into their new car. An excellent drive rewarded with second in class for 1100cc.

In the 1600cc class it was fiercely fought out all weekend. The Greenen brothers (Evo3) kicking their season off started super strong while Jason Tunnicliffe (Evo 3) was out to show that boost is faster. The three drivers pushing each other harder on every run. Saturday saw Andy Greenen fastest and scored a point from the first run off leaving Jason and Adam 11th & 12th just out of the points. Game on Sunday the battle continued with great camaraderie between the Evo 3 drivers. Jason improving upon his personal best all weekend took the top spot just pipping Andy who was followed closely by Adam.
Jason and Andy took to the hill for the last run off, this Jason scoring his British point this year.

While racing further afield was contested at Fintray for the SSHC - Scottish Sprint and Hillclimb Championship. Gary Warren racing his newly acquired Evo 2 is in fantastic form. Gary was pushing the limit of grip won the 1100cc class and smashing the class record! FTD landed at Gary's feet on the Saturday but sadly lost out on Sundays FTD by a blink of an eye 9 thousandths.

Great to have Dean and his Stars Wars themed car competing in the British Hill Climb Championship this year. All the best Dean!

Multiple Australian hillclimb and sprint Champion Dean Tighe and Wiscombe Park are grabbing the headlines in Australia!

Motorsport Australia (the nationally recognised governing and sanctioning body for four-wheeled motorsport in Australia) published this article today on their web site and FB page

https://motorsport.org.au/media/news/detail/2026/04/08/tighe-to-compete-in-british-hillclimb-championship/

Dean’s “Star Wars” liveried Empire Wraith arrived safely in the UK in early February. He will be in action this weekend at Shelsley Walsh – Practice Day on Friday and then two days of competition. This will be Dean’s Shelsley debut – a venue that his father, Ivan, competed at in 1994 (an event marking the 50th Anniversary of the RAC British Hillclimb Championship).

We wish Dean every success for his season in the British Hillclimb Championship.

Share the passion!
