Every time I look at that photo, Ben's relaxed pose cracks me up. Talk about a man personified :lol:

There is a wide and varied entry into that HC. Just battered old Renaults don't make very good footage

I have remembered that Practical Performance Car wrote an article about this guy and his French Hill Climb experience, the same chap I am still searching for...........does anyone subscribe?

Not sure about the "tardis" in the background of the BP pic :?

Jim (my dad) has done a hillclimb in France before now although....i think the french run regs that make cage & fire extenguisher as mandatory.....
I really like the approach that most of the rest of Europe employes; We want to have a motorsport event here, so were closing this road& if you live here you can join in, or go away for the weekend :lol:
I'll see what Jim can remember about how he was invitesd/where it was etc & report back.

i've just read some info regarding some hillclimbs in France in 2009 that are apparently open to a number of British entrants:

La Pommeraye is situated between Nantes and Angers and at 250km from St Malo is the furthest away. The 2.5km course run up through a vin yard which produces the well-known Anjou wines. The middle section of this course is famous throughout France for it

They do sound great, eh.
Do you know if the safety requirements include rollcage, Russell?

I reckon I could persuade Lucy to come along for a scenic weekend in Brittany :-D
