Watergate Bay Speed Hillclimb, 2018
Date: Sunday 16 Sep 2018. Starts: 12AM. Ends: 11PM.
Location: Watergate Bay, Newquay
Details of Event:
Watergate Bay Speed Hillclimb will see the main B3276 coast road between Newquay and Watergate closed off, enabling competitors to race to the top of the hill, one at a time. Starting at the bottom of the hill, by the Watergate Bay Hotel, up to 90 competitors will race to the top towards Newquay – a total distance of 720 metres.
This is the first ever hillclimb organised by the clubs as this has not been possible before due to restrictions on closing public roads and suspending the Road Traffic Act, but the law changed and so this joint venture between Newquay Auto Club, Truro and District Motor Club and Plymouth Motor Club is a new and exciting first!
The drivers are “Club Members only” and this is not open to the public to just “have a go” as it’s very strictly controlled – if you are interested and are involved in this sport already, then speak with the Autoclubs involved.
Profits of the event will be donated to the Cornwall Air Ambulance and the Cornwall Food Foundation (which includes Jamie Oliver’s Apprentice Training Scheme at Watergate Bay).
- Dates: Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 September 2018.
- Times: To be announced.
- Website: Newquay Auto Club.
