Hill climb spills, thrills

Many types of cars compete in the Historic Noosa Hill Climb, including this blue 1932 Triumph Special driven by the oldest competing driver, John Anderson, aged 76.

THE Historic Noosa Hill Climb is back for two days of heart-stopping, action-packed racing at Gyndier Drive, Tewantin.
Now in its 17th year, the Noosa Hill Climb is a premier event that runs over two days on 8 and 9 November, with racing set to run from 8am until 4pm.
Event organiser Noel St John Wood said the event was now recognised nationally as a premier hill climb event.
“With recent improvements to the circuit and pit area, this year’s event will be bigger than ever before,” he said.
Regarded as one of Australia’s premier hill climb courses, the weekend is set to be loaded with thrills and spills as exotic cars race to the top.
Spectators can catch the action trackside with numerous spectator areas set aside, plus food, drink and a bar available.
For the rev-head, access to the pit area and finish line where you can chat with the drivers, provide a unique experience.
Tickets to the event are available at the gate at $15 for a day ticket and $20 for a weekend ticket. Children under 14 are free.
Parking is available at the Tewantin Sports grounds over both days, with a shuttle bus available to ferry event-goers to the entrance.
