Chris Wilson Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 The Europeans seem to have proper hillclimbs, not like our short little affairs. This looks like it must be similar to flying a fighter plane round your bedroom...: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZkA_MAK3Fc or http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mIs6kZKRrj4&NR=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Late F3000 rolling chassis about 25/28K, fresh Mugen Honda 3 litre V8 about 38K, fresh Cosworth AC (later engine) about 42K, running costs, don't ask.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 That's awesome! Like a cross between rally and F1. Why don't they show this kind of stuff on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Doh, can't view from work. You done any hill climb events Chris? Would be interesting to see how the Zeus fares at Harewood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I did a sprint once and it was totally boring, hours of standing around and pushing the car to the start line for a few seconds run time. I'll stick to circuit stuff thank you If we had some of the big hillclimbs over here, like in Switzerland and other countries I'd give it a go. The Zeus is actually getting an airing for the first time in about 9 months next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Where are you going? Donington. Found a video of my Chevron B16 taken at Oulton a few years back (I since sold the car to Japan for silly money ) I don't recall anything falling off then, but the vid was from the pitlane http://www.gatesgarth.com/chris_wilson_oulton.mpg In car Donington in the Opel engined Zeus, before the gearbox went bang (which is why I am pottering a bit, it was making some odd noises...) at http://www.gatesgarth.com/donington.mpg The Oulton one is still uploading.
