Roadgoing Series Production Car for Sprint/Hillclimb

[Liam Shaw]

Plus other than helmet, gloves and suit, no additional safety stuff required. The suit is probably the most expensive item after the car, then the helmet.

Obviously tyres and any other stuff can be changed once up and running so costs can be spread after that. License is £43 per year.

What's involved in getting that?

Just apply via the directions on msa website all very simple

Sounds more complicated than it is.

They call them competition licenses, although techically it isnt really in this case.

Non race National B License, just fill in a form, some details etc pay them £43 and they'll send it out

I'm spannering for a friend who does short circuits, this season most of the hillclimbs I can see clash with race weekends which wouldn't suit at all if it's going to be the same next year

 

[stevieturbo]

If they clash this year, good chance they will next year as they do seem to run on similar weekends each year.

Obviously there are lots of motorsport events through the year so some are bound to clash. The sprints held mostly at Nutts Corner or Kirkistown are usually in between hillclimb dates so would be another option, pretty much all same rules etc apply.

 

[big-lew18]

The sprints at nutts corner would be handy as I live about half a mile from the circuit

 

[stevieturbo]

This covers most dates, sprint list isnt always that clear about which venue though. No idea when they release next years calendars

Next one on 4th June is at Nutts Corner. A lot of the same cars/people do both hills and sprints.

Association of Northern Ireland Car Clubs

Fs. 4th and 11th June I'm spannering. So missing cultra too

From what i've heard theres a good chance the sprint on the 4th could be the last sprint at nutts corner for a long time (years). Due to limited noise orders the costs have went up massively due to other clubs and events (namely alltrack/rallysport association) wanting the track and are willing to pay the owners more money. Unfortunately the sprints don't bring in enough money to cover the track hire.

This is however definite but the organisers seemed pretty sure about it at the last event. Pity, Nutts Corner would be the track i like the most

 

[big-lew18]

The noise complaints are ridiculous,there's a stock car track with 2 events a week for 8 months of the year, nutts corner circuit, the fastest road race in the world, it's plagued by joyriders most nights and has 3 large haulage compaines going 24/7, yet people insist on moving out of the town then complaining about the noise. The locals all support the motorsport events, a lot take part in some way or another.
