British Hillclimb Championship 1991

July 7, 2014

Duke Marketing, £10.99.
This is a welcome release, if only because hillclimbing — a branch of motor sport where the accent is firmly on sport — gets about as much TV airtime as synchronised crop-spraying.

Although the production quality is first class, the overall feel of the film is a little disjointed, as only selected rounds of the series have been included. Hopefully the exercise will be repeated this season, with coverage of all championship events. SA

Editor-at-large

Intrigued by cars almost from birth, Simon was still at school when he persuaded a local newspaper editor that he really, really needed to run race reports from Oulton Park, Aintree and elsewhere. He has since followed the sport all over the planet and edited several titles, including Motoring News, Autocourse and this one (August 1991-October 1996).
