Hillclimbing & Sprinting by Phil Short
Hillclimbing & Sprinting - collectively known as Speed Eventing - is one of the most popular ways of getting into UK motor sport. The events are accessible, straightforward & inexpensive, yet are held in an informal, friendly but competitive atmosphere. Some 400 such events take place in the UK each year, with on average more than 100 competitors on each. This book shows competitors how to get started and how to improve their skills, together with where to find the events and detailed driving advice on the top courses. There’s even advice on trailers - do you need one? The authors have interviewed a wide range of drivers, from the Clubman who drives to & from events, through mid-range competitors, including a lady, a disabled driver and an octogenarian, right up to the current hillclimb champion, as well as some of the many officials who make this sport possible. A veritable gold mine of information.
Phil Short is well-known as a rally man with 17 international victories to his credit, as a successful co-driver to several top drivers and has written a book Rally Co-driving on the subject. Subsequently, he became a Rally Team Manager at the highest level with an unprecedented 60 WRC wins to date, has also turned his hand to Hillclimbing and Sprinting, gaining numerous class wins and records at the wheel of his modified production Mini. Phil, who lives in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, is married to Lyn and they have two sons, Simon and Andrew.
