THE Autobarn mid-year hill climb was another roaring success, with more than 120 entrants and hundreds of spectators making the most of perfect winter weather.
Run over two days, the hill climb brought together car enthusiasts, one impressive racing track and a stack of show cars for one fun, family event.
Other than the races, spectators seemed to love walking through the pits, getting up close and personal with the machines and their drivers.
There were no big spills over the two days of racing but man-of-the-moment Daryl Watt set a new record when he conquered the hill in his Force chassis, Hayabusa powered open-wheeler in an impressive 51.5 seconds.
The NSW native can now enjoy full bragging rights until the end of the year hill climb.
