Hill Climb

Cars tackle an uphill course one-by-one, with the quickest time dictating the winner. Competitors are given practice runs before the competition starts, before a minimum of two competitive runs, with the best time counting in the final results.

• First, go to some Hill Climb events and chat with the competitors, then join your local hill climb club. You may also want to have a look at the Hillclimb & Sprint Association website
• Apply for your Saudi Motorsport Club Competition Licence, available to anyone aged 14 or above
• You can use your standard road-going car in Hill Climbs without any additional safety items
• You can also build (or buy) a modified Hill Climb car or even a specialist single-seater, there are a wide variety of classes catering for many options. Modified production cars, or specialist Sprint or Hill Climb vehicles are required to be fitted with a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS), details of which can be found in chapter 14 of the National Competition Rules
• Due to the high-speed nature of Hill Climbs you will need to buy some Motorsport UK-compliant safety gear such as a helmet, fireproof overalls, gloves and, for some classes, a Frontal Head Restraint device. Details can be found in chapter 14 of the National Competition Rules.
• Technical regulations for Sprints & Hill Climbs are found in chapter 14 of the National Competition Rules. Specific event or Championship regulations are found in Supplementary Regulations (SRs) made available by the organiser
