Motorsport fans, get excited, it’s almost time for car racing up the renowned Noosa Hill.
Set aside the weekend of 10 and 11 of June to head to the grandstands at the start line and watch the red light turn to green.
Adrenaline grips the drivers, foot hits the gas pedal hard and we are off and racing up 1.5kms negotiating 14 bends, all uphill, at speed.
A wide variety of cars and drivers take the challenge against their personal best times hoping to save a fraction of a second with each timed run. Cars are released one at a time with multiple categories amongst the 140 entries.
Race director Scott Bingham says, “Event planning and preparation is well under way to welcome all drivers, officials, spectators, and sponsors to The Hill.“
“Once again, we expect a full field of entries competing in a wide range of vehicles including vintage, classics, modern sports and touring, open wheel race cars and many more.
“We encourage everyone to come along and enjoy this great event in a safe and responsible manner to ensure its continuity well into the future.”
Spectators are welcome to wander the open pit area and engage with the superheroes as they await their turn to race.
While wandering the pit, look out for the tally car on display, it belongs to the Sunshine Coast Blokes, Kar 97 who are fundraising for the Kids Kidney Foundation Rally.
Combining forces with Sunshine Coast Motorsport Club, Noosa Beach Classic Car Club is set to host another exciting HillClimb weekend with Adrian Reed, Principal of Reed and Co. Estate Agents taking out the prestigious honour of ‘Outright Winner’ at the last event with a very impressive drive in monsoonal rain. He will be returning to defend his title and generously stepping up once again as main sponsor.
“We are very proud sponsors of the Noosa Winter Hill Climb for the fourth year in a row,” Adrian Reed said.
“For Reed and Co. supporting this event is a celebration of our shared values, passion, enthusiasm, competitive spirit. The Winter Hill Climb is an outstanding opportunity for us to host our clients as they compete in one of the countries most challenging road courses.”
Such events cannot be hosted without the generosity of some of our local business entities so we also add our thanks to Bob Jane TMart, Noosaville, Himod Auto Lighting, Coastline BMW, Eureka Landscapes, Noosa’s Elite Car Spa plus many other supporting acts with the Rotary Club of Eumundi Cooking up the burgers to nourish all the hungry souls.
