Although the venues on the odd occasion do not have the same appeal as a Hillclimb, you do get to do some terrifying speeds on some awesome tracks! Rumour has it that there will be a Sprint round at Snetterton this year which would not be one to miss. Why don't you Hillclimbers come and play? You did in years gone past!

The future of one day meetings in the British Hillclimb Championship may well be limited. There is a possibility of a new rule being brought in to
outlaw one day meeting on the mainland - this would still allow the two Channel Island rounds plus the Northern Irish round at Craigantlet. However it would be the end for
Barbon Manor in May and the Harewood round the day after!
Neil1982 does have a point. Sprint meetings tend to be one-day affairs. Even our two day meetings are actually one event per day e.g. Pembrey where we run different layouts each day. Also Neil is right when he says we are at Snetterton this year. This we hope will become a fixture in the Sprint Championship and we are currently working on our 2006 Championship Schedule which will hopefully see Lydden Hill and Cadwell Park back on the list.
