Big field takes on Australian Hillclimb Championships - Auto Action (1)

By Auto Action

Date posted: October 24, 2024

Almost 100 competitors have begun their pursuit of national glory with the 2024 Motorsport Australia Hillclimb Championship beginning today at Bryant Park.

Practice kicked things off today with wet weather initially impacting proceedings, but the track dried quickly and drivers were able to put the foot down towards the end of the day.

Many big names are chasing glory in the Gippsland Car Club run event including previous winners Dean Tighe, Dean Amos, Greg Ackland and Brett Hayward.

Practice carries on Friday before the intensity rises on Saturday and Sunday as the timed runs take place on the weekend around the Bryant Park Figure 8 layout.
