    Cool Epynt Hillclimb

    June 22nd 2008, 1.6km course, on the Epynt ranges.
    Anyone up for it, contact www.breconmotorclub.co.uk

    Website shows details of 2007, but I've been assured that there'll be an event again this year.

    Contact 'Martin.Leonard at BreconMotorClub.co.uk' for more details.

    Re: Epynt Hillclimb

    Can this be done on a Rally Competition Licence or do you need a specific hillclimb one?

    Yes I think you can do it on a national b stage licence, I hope BMC, do more Hill Climbs up there.

    Re: Epynt Hillclimb

    i done the hillclimb last year with non_race national b licence like road rally licence, be quick on getting your entries in this year as the hillclimb forms part of the hillclimb championship !!!!!

    Re: Epynt Hillclimb

    it may look simple but everyone had positive comments of it last year, so im the course does it's job! it used the burma road as a traffic section to link back to 4ways bridge via the german village which was also good fun!!!!!

    Hello mate, I'd love to do it but I need to pull my finger out (plus get back to UK!) and get it finished first.

    If I cant make it, I'm very happy to trailer and service for you if you need a hand.........or maybe I should hire something

    Cheers,

    Paul.
