MOTORSPORT enthusiasts will be out in force for the Noosa Mid-Year Hill Climb event at Gyndier Drive Tewantin on 25 and 36 July.
The event, sponsored by Gympie Autobarn, is one of three charity fund-raisers held by the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club.
Club spokesperson Noel St John-Wood said this was a big event for the club.
“The Mid Year and the November Hill Climbs are hugely popular, with 120 competitors for each event,” he said.
“There are lots of different cars competing from open-wheelers to sports sedans and everything in between.
“Spectators can view the competition from the start line and different areas of the circuit and also have access to the pits for a close inspection of all the cars.
“The friendly drivers are always up for a chat.”
He said the Noosa Hill Climb was regarded as Australia’s toughest because of its steep 1.5 km, 14 corner circuit and the drivers just love the challenge.
The current record is held by New South Wale’s Daryl Watt who will be trying to break his own record of 52 seconds in his Hayabusa powered race car.
