Wow!! Great footage

That is amazing & if you hadn't of said that it isn't sped up, you would have sworn it is.

Cheers, Rob

That decision not to have a passenger ride with Jonathon seems like a better one every time I think of it.
Don't get me wrong - he's superb, but I would have died of fright.

I've had a busted leg (karting at Silverstone) , and that makes my legs ache, the way the car heads towards the armco on a couple of occasions!!!

Why is he running no body John? Weighing up aero vs weight or just saving for the skin?

James, honestly don't know the real answer to that one. Put it this way, it doesn't seem to make much difference.
He's a member on here, so you never know, he might tell us.

couple of silly questions about hillcliming in general.

why didn't he go on the green light? (or is it a case of green = go when you're ready?)

and why do hillclimb cars always have that bit sticking up on the front left?

rpm - 30/9/08 at 09:18 PM

in hillclimb and sprinting you go after the green light in your own time and the bit sticking up is a timing strut which breaks the timing beam at the start and finish of each run

that is mental!!!!!!!

1 slight mistake and thats it! surely you have to be a bit mad to do that!!!!

Blimey,
There isnt much room to spare given the front track width of the 2nd car in the 2nd video link!

Crazy fast.

They must have a good memory, that isn't possible if they are the first time around.

Specially fitted racing suit trousers.

Like most successful motorsport competitors they seem to be able to switch off the part of the brain that says "if a tyre blows out here I'll hit a tree and die"
