Wallace Menzies having taken the Fastest Time of the Day Award, also now leads the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship driving his Gould GR59.

JCB Photography was at Cadwell Park Circuit for the Alan Healy Memorial Rally on Sunday 26th April 2026. The rally was round 9 of the Protyre Circuit Rally Championship. The rally was also part of the following 2026 Rally Championships. The Alpha Concrete & 3D Plant and Construction Stage Rally, The Clubman Motorsport EMAMC Stage Rally, The New Hope Rentals AEMC/ASEMC Stage Rally and the Proflex Shock Absorbers ANCC Stage Rally. Organised by the Border Motor Club of Lincolnshire.

Offering competitors a friendly, clubman rally, in a single venue, stage rally using sections of the main circuit with a mixture of off-road areas not normally used for competition. Some of the stages would also be run in the reverse direction to the normal circuit use.

The competitive mileage was just over 44 stage miles, over the nine special stages. The crews would have to follow a road book using parts of the track with added chicanes and the stages would also include a number of merges and split points though the special stage, this could result in several rally cars been on the same part of the track at the same time, which is quite unusual for rally crews in the open forestry commission stages.

The winners of the 2026 Alan Healy Memorial Rally were Michael Igoe and co-driver Will Atkins in the Citroen C3 Rally 2, taking second were John Griffiths and co-driver Emma Morrison in the Skoda Fabia R5 and Chris West, with co-driver Keith Hounslow along side in the Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car.

Out of the 100 competitors only 73 cars were classified as finishers.

BARC Yorkshire Centre organised a brand new event on Saturday 13th December 2025.

This was a hillclimb but a hillclimb with a difference. A rally style hillclimb running through daylight and into the darkness. The event was a non_Harewood Hillclimb Championship event.

This meant that most cars would be fitted with extra Cibie’s or similar or indeed the large light pods, though a couple had moved over to the modern LED’s.

The event offered the starting 77 competitors a chance to tackle the famous Yorkshire hill with practice and competitive runs in daylight and darkness. A number of Harewood regulars would also be taken part in the event.

With each competitive run been treated as a Special Stage with cumulative times used to determine the winners in each of the different classes, ranging from modified road and stage rally cars, right up to the more powerful specialist R5 and Rally2 rally cars. If any driver failed to finish a run, say due to a mechanical issue or not having all four wheels within the track limits at the finish a nominal time of 90.00 seconds would be awarded.

Fastest Time of the Day was taken by Jonathan Mounsey driving a Ford Fiesta R5, while Joe Cummingham won the overall event, also driving a Ford Fiesta.

JCB Photography was at Cadwell Park Circuit, for the single venue stage rally, the NHMC Cadwell Stages Rally and Fireworks display on Sunday 16th November 2025.

The event is organised by the North Humberside Motor Club, with assistance from members of the Trackrod Motor Club. This was the second round of the 2025/26 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship, the first round having taken place at Oulton Park Circuit for the Neil Howard stages on 1st November.

The event was also part of a several other Rally Championships including the 2025 Clubman Motorsport and 2025 EMAMC Stage Rally Championship.

Using the Cadwell Park Circuit and some of the access and service roads, with around 43 stages miles over eight Special Stages, all of which were sealed surface and all within the confines of the circuit but also using some of the access roads around the track. Half of these special stages were run in reverse direction to a normal race day on the track. With the last two special stages run partly in the dark.

With a real mix bag of competing clubman rally cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Ford Escort MkII’s, Nissan Micra, Mazda MX5, Mitsubishi Evo’s, Subaru Impreza’s and a variety of BMW's, and Peugeot's. With 95 entries, car number one driven by John Griffiths and co-driver Emma Morrison in the Skoda Fabia R5. The crew won this event last year and took to the first special stage at 9 o’clock.

For the first four special stages the track was run in reverse and the final four was run in the normal direction. The crews would complete a couple of laps, or part laps of the track, with added chicanes and would also include a number of merges and split points in the special stage. This could result in several rally cars been on the same part of the track at the same time, which is quite unusual for rally crews in the open forestry commission stages.

Out of the 95 entries only 62 cars were classified as finishers, almost a third of the field did not see the finish.

The winners of the 2025 NHMC Cadwell Stages Rally were Michael Igoe and co-driver Will Atkins in a Citroen C3 Rally 2.

John Griffiths and co-driver Emma Morrison driving a Skoda Fabia R5, were 2nd, with John Stone driving a VW Polo R5 GTi with co-driver Rhys Stoneman.

This included the VW UP of Harewood Championship leader Adam Riley. Adam shares the car with Doug Mitchell. It was Doug who was driving, during his third timed run he went on to the grass, hit the tyres and Armco coming out of Farmhouse bend.

Joining the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship competitors would be members from the Ferrari Owners Club taking part in the Ferrari Hillclimb Championship for rounds four and five.

Saturday’s event had 150 competitors ready to take to the track at the nine o’clock start time under some nice sunshine, which lasted all day.

The day just didn’t seem to flow due to a number of incidents that kept the poor marshals and recovery crews busy including a car which had an issue and left oil on the track. This made for some interesting photos when the cars restarted after the red flag. Therefore, only the practice runs were completed before the lunch break followed by two timed runs in the afternoon.

Another new class record was set in class 1A by 2024 Harewood Speed Hillclimb Champion Adam Riley. Adam still leads the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship.

With a real mix bag of competing clubman rally cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Ford Escort MkII’s, Nissan Micra’s, Mazda MX5, Mitsubishi Evo’s, Subaru Impreza’s and a variety of BMW's, and Peugeot's. With 97 entries, car number one Michael Igoe driving his Citroen C3 Rally 2 with Will Atkins sitting in the co-driver's seat took to the first special stage at 9 o’clock.

The crews would have to complete a couple of laps of the track with chicanes and would also include a number of merges and split points along the route, this could result in several rally cars been on the same part of the track at the same time, which is quite unusual for rally crews in the open forestry commission stages.

Out of the 97 entries only 63 cars were classified as finishers, almost a third of the field did not see the finish. We did see two cars go off into the armco but managed to carry on, however two competitors did roll again in-front of the camera and many more had mechanical issues.

The winners of the 2025 Alan Healy Memorial Rally held at Cadwell Park Circuit were Michael Igoe and co-driver Will Atkins driving a Citroen C3 Rally 2. John Griffiths and co-driver Emma Morrison driving a Skoda Fabia R5, were 2nd and 3rd was Chris West and co-driver Keith Hounslow driving a Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car.

JCB Photography was at Cadwell Park Circuit for the Cadwell Sprint on Saturday 23rd March 2024. The event was organised by BARC Midlands Centre.

The Sprint was attended by several clubs including Hillclimb and Sprint Association (HSA), BARC, Lotus Cup, MG Car Club, TR Register, Nottingham Sports Car Club and Morgan Sports Car Club, all competitors competing in different Speed Championships.

The event got under way around nine o’clock with the Practice run, followed by three timed runs. With the sun out for some of the morning the rest of the day was dry but with a very icy strong wind.

The Sprint start was just outside the Hospitality building and not at the race track start-line and the finish was near the pedestrian bridge, so the competitors did not get to go up the famous The Mountain climb, part of the race track. The Sprint Course is 3.15km in length.

In the National event Peter Goulding driving a Mygale FF200 set the Best Time of Day , while in the Inter-club event Anthony Middleton driving his Westfield SEi set the Best Time of the Day.

JCB Photography was at Harewood Hill for the BARC Yorkshire Centre 2025 season opener, which got underway on Sunday 23rd March, with the Practice Day Hillclimb meeting.

With a full entry list of eighty Competitors, a number of new drivers and cars.

The organisers have been busy during the closed season with new armco installed on the on both sides of the straight, from Clark’s all the way down to the Esses. Then a single section at Chippy’s. This will be a Save Pull off Place, which can be used to store a broken-down car prior to be recovered at a later time in the proceedings.

Harewood Hill is the longest speed hillclimb venue in the UK, with a truly spectacular setting looking over the valley of the Wharfedale valley.

The event got underway at 9:00, with a couple of puddles in the lower half of the track but was damp throughout the entire length of the track after rain on Saturday afternoon and overnight. It did start raining again during the early morning runs, so competitors would have some slippy conditions until the rain stopped and it would be up to this breeze to dry the track out, as the sun didn’t really come out. In the distant it always looked misty. So, it took until the afternoon runs before the single seaters fitted slick tyres from the morning's wets.

Mark Hemingway driving his Force TA set the Fastest Time of the Day. Also driving a Force TA was Simon Jenks who set the second fastest time and John Prickett driving his Radical set the third. These three were the only drivers to get under sixty seconds during the day.

JCB Photography was at Donington Park Circuit for the TEGIWA Dukeries Rally on Sunday 16th March 2025.

The event is organized by the Dukeries Motor Club and was a round of the 2024/25 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship along with several Regional Association Stage Rally Championships including Dukeries Motor Club’s own rally championship.

This was the 65th running of the event and entries included Ford Fiesta R5‘s along with a number of other classes R5 cars from different manufacturers together with many popular clubman cars, such as the Ford Escort’s, Nissan Micra’s, Mazda MX5 along with a variety of BMW's, and Peugeot's.

Using the Donington Park Circuit, with around 50 stages miles over seven Special Stages all within the confines of the Circuit but also using some of the access roads around the track and off-road sections on the infield.

The crews would have to complete a couple of laps of the track with chicanes and would also include a number of merges and split points along the route, this could result in two rally cars been on the same part of the track at the same time, which is quite unusual for rally crews in the open forestry commission stages.

The winners of the 2025 TEGIWA Dukeries Rally held at Donington Circuit were John Griffiths and co-driver Emma Morrison driving a Skoda Fabia R5

2nd Michael Igoe and co-driver Will Atkins driving a Citroen C3 Rally 2

3rd Chris West and co-driver Keith Hounslow driving a Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car

JCB Photography was at the East Riding Stages Rally on Sunday 23rd February 2025. For Special Stages 5 & 6 at Westwood Super Special in the market town of Beverley in East Yorkshire. The event was organized by the Beverley & District Motor Club.

The event is only one of five closed road rallies in the country. Which means that the club use closed public roads which are then used as special stages for the event. Competitors use other public roads to get to each stage, so the cars have to be road legal and obey the highway code.

With five stages, each run twice and a ceremonial start and finish in Beverley’s Saturday Market Place. The first of approximately 170 competitors were flagged away at 9 o’clock.

The rally featured some challenging stages across East Yorkshire’s roads, attracting some of the best competitors from across the UK and Ireland. A large number of competitors were driving Ford Fiesta’s of different specs, from WRC to R5 and R2’s. Along with a number of competitors driving Rally 2 machines from Toyota GR Yaris, Hyundai I20 N, Skoda Fabia to Citroen C3’s. The grass roots clubman was out in Ford Escort’s, Subaru Impreza’s and Mitsubishi Evo’s, along with a number of Clio’s and BMW Mini’s.

With many thousands of rally fans, lining the stage at Westwood Super Special, despite the forecast for strong winds and rain. The rain started just before the action got underway for the start of SS5. Which would at the very least mean a very greasy surface for competitors.

Special Stage 5 got under way then only fifteen minutes later, Special Stage 6 got under way. So, for the spectators this meant that several cars could be on the stage at the same time, so a Rally car would come into view every 30 seconds. As later cars starting SS5 would also be setting off as well as cars starting SS6.

A number of competitors hit trouble in the first couple of stages, including last year's winner Mark Kelly with co-driver Will Atkins in the VW Polo.

East Riding Stages Rally Top 3.

1st William Creighton driving the Toyota Yaris Rally 2 Car#3, with co-driver Liam Regan

2nd Keith Cronin driving the Citroen C3 Rally 2 Car#2, with co-driver Mikie Galvin

3rd James Williams driving the Hyundai I20N Rally2 Car#4, with co-driver Ross Whittock

Harewood Hillclimb Championship.

Adam Riley yet again retains the Harewood Hillclimb Championship crown after leading from the first event of the season and also setting several new class records for Class 1A, Road Cars series Production up to and including 1400cc in the front wheel drive VW UP. Adam first broke the class record in only his second meeting in the new car at Harewood. This was the Jim Thomson Hillclimb, in June. He then broke his own record in the Rescheduled Spring Championship event in August and on both meetings this weekend.

Adam is now a quadruple Harewood Champion, having won the Championship in 2023 driving Karl Jackson’s rear wheel drive Honda S2000 and in 2022 and 2021 driving his own Honda S2000. Simon Green driving his Westfield Duratec finished in second place and Henry Moorhouse driving the Honda powered Westfield in third place.

David Tatham has lead the series since the Yorkshire Speed Hillclimb meeting at the beginning of August. He had been driving his DJ Firehawk but due to engine issues he has had to swap to the McLaren M12C. He won the Montague Burton Hillclimb but since the Rescheduled Spring Championship meeting he has been driving the McLaren.

However after dropped points are taken into account, Jake Bellerby wins the Harewood FTD Award Series driving his OMS 2000M, from Simon Green driving his Westfield Duratec, and David Tatham driving the McLaren M12C falls down to third place.

Fastest Time of the Day was set by Mark Hemingway driving a Force TA.

Competitors of the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship were competing at Harewood Hill over the weekend of 24th and 25th August for the Spring and Summer Championship Hillclimb meeting along with two and three wheeled competitors joining in on the action on the Sunday.

Spring Championship Hillclimb

This event was postponed back in April due to the very wet spring, leavening the Paddock and car parking areas unusable around the famous Yorkshire hill.

The events were Round’s five and six of the 2024 Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship, organised by the BARC Yorkshire Centre.

With two practice runs and a timed run completed before the lunch break, followed by two timed runs in the afternoon and a total start entry of 116 cars.

Saturday’s weather turned out to be the better of the two days even though it was overcast with a breeze, which resulted in perfect track conditions, for a number of competitors to set new class records:

Fastest Time of the Day was set by Mark Hemingway driving a Force TA car.

Summer Championship Hillclimb

On Sunday the Summer Championship Hillclimb had a total start entry of 105 cars and 21 motorbikes, including five sidecar entries.

Also joining in on the track side action were a large group of competitors from the road and race classes of the Paul Matty Lotus Championship.

Sunday morning was overcast and with a much stronger wind, than yesterday, keeping the temperatures down both on and off the track.

Competition got underway with the first practice run, which was completed in about 50 minutes. Second Practice run was completed in about an hour and a quarter. So, the competitors got in a timed run before the lunch break.

A second timed run was fully completed after the lunch break. It was during the third timed run that a competitor left a large amount of oil on the track leading into The Esses all the way up to Farmhouse, covering nearly half of the track.

The Harewood Orange Army (Marshals) did spend a fair amount of time dressing the oil and a couple of cars did go up the hill but a tuff decision, was made to abandon the meeting on safety grounds, by the Clerk of the Course and officials.

The fastest bike up the Yorkshire hill was set by Paul Jarrett ridding a KTM bike and the fastest sidecar was Aaron Hall and Garth Rawlings riding a Poole Trike.

In the Harewood Championship Adam Riley driving the VW UP still leads the Championship from Simon Green driving his Westfield Duratec and Henry Moorhouse driving the Honda powered Westfield in third place.

The Fast Time of the Day was again set by Mark Hemingway driving a Force TA.

After the Summer Championship Hillclimb David Tatham driving the McLaren M12C leads the Harewood FTD Award Series from Simon Green driving his Westfield Duratec in second place with Dave Banner driving the Westfield Megabusa now moving up to third place.

Most of the regular competitors had not been at Harewood since early June.

Yorkshire Speed Hillclimb

Joining the Harewood regulars were a large group of competitors from the Northampton Motorsport Caterham and Lotus 7 Club Speed Championship.

Montague Burton Hillclimb

With some drizzle to start the first practice run, making the track very greasy for the first of the Sunday morning competitors. The grey clouds would stay with us for the rest of the day, however it did stay dry and was a little chilly for August with a slight breeze. This breeze would keep temperatures down both on and off the track. One class record was broken, 1C for Road Cars Production over 2000cc and 2 wheel drive, by Richard Andrews driving the Porsche 718 GT4.

A timed run as well as the two Practice runs were completed before a late lunch break with two further timed runs before the end of the meeting.

In the Harewood Championship Adam Riley still leads the Championship from Simon Green driving his Westfield Duratec with Henry Moorhouse driving the Honda powered Westfield in third place.

Junior Euan Bruce, 14 years old, takes to the longest Hillclimb in the UK. Euan was competing in a MG ZR over the weekend of 6th and 7th July at Harewood Hill, along with the cream of the British Hillclimb Championship contenders.

The junior series has been set-up to encourage new young blood to get involved in Motorsport at Sprints and Hillclimb level. Juniors have to first complete three Sprint events before they can move onto the hillclimb's. The junior competitor must be on track by him or herself.

The car has to be a standard production car with a maximum of 110bhp, Post 2000 year, with a minimum of 5000 cars produced in standard spec and on road tyres. Only safety modifications i.e. roll cage, harness and seat.

He shares the car with his dad John, who is an ex-Scottish Hillclimb Road car Champion. John had competed at Harewood 30 or so years ago. Euan and John along with his mum Julia form the Bruce Racing Team. Euan had been involved with servicing and maintenance of the car including rebuilding of the 1400cc engine after a failure at Kames earlier in the 2024 season.

For 2024 he is competing in the Scottish Sprint and Hillclimb Championship. Euan Bruce was the first junior and youngest ever driver at a British Hillclimb Championship event in England. Both he and his dad John are looking forward to coming back again next year to Harewood Speed Hillclimb.

Many thanks to Julia Bruce for all the background information.

JCB Photography joined Competitors from The British Hillclimb Championship’s return to Harewood Hill for rounds 13 and 14 of the British Hillclimb Championship.

The event was not a round of the Harewood Hillclimb Championship, but a number of regulars did take part against the cream of the British Hillclimb Championship contenders, making the event a full entry of 150 competitors.

Also joining in this weekend would be competitors from the Porsche Club Speed Championship for two rounds of its championship.

Two Practices runs and up to three timed runs were completed on the Saturday for the Inter-club classes. Along with two Practice runs for the BHC competitors and a couple of timed runs. However, these timed runs did not count for any points in the Championship. It was during the timed run after lunch that it started raining, though it was nothing like the rain that was forecast for Sunday. We can all hope that the forecast and weather apps are wrong.

Sunday

Alex Summers driving the DJ Firestorm comes to Harewood leading the Championship by 16 points from Will Hall and Matt Ryder. The weather or rather the rain, would have a very large impact on the event, which it seems to have managed at some of the other rounds of the British Hillclimb Championship (BHC) in 2024 as well. With a number of downpours throughout the day.

After one of the downpours, which was so heavy it resulted in standing water at Willow corner. Once this was cleared by the Marshals and inspected by the Clerk of the Course. The track was still wet but no standing water. The next issue was that a number of single seaters, who had left the paddock when it was nice and dry were now waiting on the start line area all on slick tyres. These drivers were given the all clear to very carefully drive back up to the paddock area to change onto wets.

The fastest twelve would have a run-off for British Hillclimb Championship points, though only the top ten would be awarded points from ten down to one point for tenth place. This would then be repeated for the next round of the Championship.

When the run-off for BHC points takes place, only one car is on the track at a time, once the competitor has past the finish line, will post twenty, located after the finish and reports on the radio that the car has cleared the finish and is in the paddock, will the time keepers set the timing for the next competitor and the start line marshals signal to the driver to watch for the green light.

After the Practice runs and the first of the timed runs for all competitors. The all important run-offs for Round 13 of the BHC and Round 1 of the Tin Top Ten Challenge were completed.

Top 3 in the First Run-Off Round 13.

1st Matthew Ryder driving a Gould GR59J

2nd Wallace Menzies driving a Gould GR59

3rd Will Hall driving a Gould GR59 Judd

David Tatham driving his DJ Firehawk Car# 108 was the only one of the Harewood regulars competing to make it into both run-offs. Though Ben Hamer driving a OMS28 Car #803 also managed to get into the first run-off.

Then after a very late lunch break, the second of the time runs were completed with another downpour during this timed run. The all important second run-offs were completed on a wet to damp and drying track. Which was when the three fastest times of the day were set, some 4 seconds off the hill record set by Matthew Ryder.

Top 3 in the Second Run-Off Round 14.

1st Matthew Ryder driving a Gould GR59J

2nd Alex Summers driving a DJ Firestorm

3rd Jack Cottrill driving a Dallara

Alex Summers still leads the BHC leaving Harewood, with Matthew Ryder moving up to second after his two wins this weekend. While Will Hall drops to third place and Trevor Willis is still in fourth place, now 22 points behind Will.

The next rounds of the 2024 British Hillclimb Championship is due to take place at Bouley Bay, Jersey on Wednesday 17th July followed by Val Des Terres, Guernsey on 20th July. Both these events are organised by The Jersey Motorcycle and Light Car Club.

Tin Top Ten Challenge.

This weekend was also the opening round of the British Hillclimb Championship (BHC) Tin Top-Top Ten Challenge. This Challenge has been expanded to ten rounds for the 2024 season. Reigning 2023 BHC Tin Top Challenge Champion, Damien Bradley along with runner up Steve Darley, who shares the Subaru Legacy with Damien. Former BHC Champion Roger Moran was driving his Skoda Fabia R5 also in a Skoda Fabia R5 was Eynon Price. Eynon a former BHC single seater driver and rally driver was taking part for the first time in the Tin Top Challenge.

The fastest ten would have a run-off for Championship points, from ten down to one point for tenth place. This was then repeated after the second timed runs for round two of the Championship.

Followed just three weeks later by the rescheduled, from 14th April, the Spring National event on Saturday 24th August and then the Summer Championship on the Sunday.

Many thanks to BARC Yorkshire centre for the opportunity to be track side. Also not forgetting all the Marshals, Medical and the Darlington and District Rescue team, along with all the back office staff without which the events at Harewood Hill could not take place.

Many thanks to BARC Yorkshire centre for the opportunity to be track side. Also not forgetting all the Marshals, Medical and the Darlington and District Rescue team, along with all the back-office staff without which the events at Harewood Hill could not take place.

Next events at Harewood Hill will see the second visit of the 2024 season for British Hillclimb Championship over the weekend of 6th and 7th July.

The next meeting for the Harewood Hillclimb Championship is over the weekend of the 3rd and 4th August for the Yorkshire Speed and Montague Burton Hillclimb.

Harewood Open and British Championship Hillclimb.

After a very, very long wet winter and spring JCB Photography was at Harewood Hill for a very late start to the 2024 Motor-sport season on the famous Yorkshire hill.

Practice Day event was original scheduled for 24th March, the organisers had to make a difficult decision to postpone the event, due to excessive rainfall over the weeks leading up to the event, which had left the ground waterlogged meaning large areas of the parking field and paddock unusable. This event was rescheduled for Saturday 13th April but again due to the waterlogged ground that event was cancelled altogether and the Spring National Hillclimb event which was due to take place on Sunday 14th April was rescheduled for the 24th August.

All this meant that the first Hillclimb event taking place at Harewood Hill was over the weekend of 11th and 12th May for the Harewood Open Hillclimb, on the Saturday, as part of the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship. While the first of what will be two visits by the British Hillclimb Championship competitors on the Sunday, which would not be part of the Harewood Championship.

Even so a number of competitors from the British Hillclimb Championship and Ferrari Owners Club would join the competitors from the Harewood Hillclimb Championship on the Saturday.

2023 Harewood Hillclimb Champion, Adam Riley, now sharing a front wheel drive VW UP, car #22, with Doug Mitchell. Adam having switched from sharing the rear wheel drive, turbo engined Honda S2000 of Carl Jackson. Adam came away from the meeting leading the 2024 Championship and came very close, just 0.24 seconds from setting a new 1A class record for Road Cars Series Production, up to and including 1400cc set by Mark Teale driving a Suzuki Swift on 06th June 2021. So I will be very, very surprised if this class record does not go before the end of this season, based on Adams previous record setting. With the best 6 scores to count, from the 8 Rounds of the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship.

In the Ferrari Hillclimb Championship run by the Ferrari Owners Club. David Snelson driving a Ferrari 488 Spider car# 220 set a new class record on Saturday. The record was set back in May 2019. Then he beat his own class record again on the Sunday.

Sunday. British Hillclimb Championship.

Just like the Harewood Championship the British Hillclimb Championship has had events postponed at Prescott which has been rescheduled for 17th & 18th August. Craigantlet in Northern Ireland was abandoned on 4th May due to heavy rain causing the track to flood in places and neither of the run-offs having taken place.

However this was not before British Championship Hillclimb 2023 Champion Wallace Menzies driving a Gould GR59, car #1 went off and damaged his car, meaning that Wallace was not at Harewood this weekend.

All this meant that Harewood Hill would also be the first Round of the 2024 British Hillclimb Championship.

The two Practices runs were completed before the lunch break, under variable cloud. The first timed run for the British Hillclimb Championship got underway with some nice warm sunshine.

The fastest twelve would have a run-off for Championship points, though only the top ten would be awarded points from ten down to one point for tenth place. This would then be repeated for the next round of the Championship.

Scott Moran who has won the British Hillclimb Championship six times (2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2016) is taking time out of the Championship this year but was at Harewood sharing with his father, 1997 British Hillclimb Champion Roger Moran Skoda Fabia R5. So Scott had car#2 on the door as he was runner up last year to Wallace Menzies. Roger was car# 702.

Top 3 in the First Run-Off.

Matthew Ryder takes the lead in the British Hillclimb Championship after winning both rounds with 20 points. With Trevor Willis in second on 18 points. Though Trevor got closer in the time difference, during the second run-off from 0.39 to 0.17. Sean Gould and Alex Summers are joint third with 15 points. The next round of the 2024 British Hillclimb Championship is due to take place at Gurston Down over the weekend of 25th and 26th May but will be back at Harewood Hill over the weekend of 6th and 7th July, after also competing at Shelsey Walsh and Doune.

While Round two of the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship takes place on Sunday 9th June with the Jim Thomson Hillclimb.

Many thanks to BARC Yorkshire centre for the opportunity to be track side. Also not forgetting all the Marshals, Medical and the Darlington and District Rescue team, along with all the back office staff without which the events at Harewood Hill could not take place.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

After an inspection of the venue on Saturday 6th April, BARC Yorkshire Centre has had to cancel its Practice Day (which was rescheduled from 24th March) and postpone the Spring National Championship Hillclimb due to all the extreme wet weather over recent weeks, which has left large areas of both the parking and paddock areas waterlogged.

The Spring National Championship Hillclimb has been rescheduled to take place on Saturday 24th August. This will make that weekend a double header with the Summer Championship meeting, taking place on the Sunday.

This means that the first hillclimb event to take place at Harewood Hill in 2024 will be the Harewood Open and British Hillclimb Championship over the weekend of 11th and 12th May.

JCB Photography was at Cadwell Park Circuit on Sunday 31st March 2024 for the Alan Healy Memorial Rally. With 9 Special Stages using not only the Circuit but access roads, the pit lane and even the circuit in reverse. Organized by the Border Motor Club (Lincolnshire).

This is round eight of the 2023/24 MGJ Engineering Circuit Rally Championship. The final round nine of the 2023/2024 championship is at Anglesey, for the Altratech SMC Stages on Sunday 14th April. The event is also rounds of the Alpha Concrete ANEMMC and Clubman Motorsport EMAMC Stage Rally Championships. The event organisers had retained the holding area hairpin, which proved popular last year, in addition to the give competitors over 45 challenging miles on some of the best circuit tarmac in the country.

The rally is once again being run in memory of Alan Healy, the late President of Border Motor Club (Lincolnshire) and one of the Club's founder members.

The competing field was made-up of cars included the Subaru Impreza along with more modern WRC cars such as a Skoda Fabia and Ford Fiesta’s and off course Ford Escorts MKII including an Escort Cosworth and a Talbot Avenger. The Rally Service Area was open all day to allow a close-up of the competitors as they service and prepare for each special stage.

After some overnight fog, which cleared during the first couple of stages. The sun was out but that didn’t last too long before the wind picked up and it clouded over. Thankfully the rain did stay away until the last stage.

Winners of the Alan Healy Memorial Rally was Michael Igoe and co-driver Will Atkins in the Citroen C3 Rally2, second was Tony Robinson and co-driver Paul Spooner in the Skoda Fabia R5 and third was James Garner and co-driver Jordan Jones in the Darrian GTR.

JCB Photography would like to thank the Border Motor Club, MotorSport Vision, all the Event Sponsors, Motorsport UK, Rescue and Recovery Units, Medical personnel, Officials, and Marshals, without which the event could not have taken place.

Cadwell Sprint 2024

JCB Photography was at Cadwell Park Circuit for the Cadwell Park Sprint on Sunday 23rd March 2024. The event was organised by BARC Midlands Centre.

The Sprint was attended by several clubs including Hillclimb and Sprint Association (HSA), BARC, Lotus Cup, MG Car Club, TR Register, Nottingham Sports Car Club and Morgan Sports Car Club, all competitors competing in different Speed Championships.

The event got under way around nine o’clock with the Practice run, followed by up to four timed runs. With the sun out for most of the morning the rest of the day was mainly dry but with a very icy strong wind and a mid morning light shower with hailstones luckily this didn’t last very long.

The Sprint start was just outside the Hospitality building and not at the racetrack start-line and the finish was near the pedestrian bridge, so the competitors did not get to go up the famous The Mountain climb, part of the racetrack. The Sprint Course is 3.15km in length.

In the National event Peter Goulding driving a Mygale FF200 set the Best Time of Day. While in the Inter-club event Mick Dent driving a Westfield Megabusa set the Best Time of Day.

JCB Photography was at the East Riding Stages Rally on Sunday 25th February 2024. For Special Stages 5 & 6 at Westwood Super-special in the market town of Beverley in East Yorkshire. The event was organized by the Beverley & District Motor Club.

With five stages, each run twice and a ceremonial start and finish in Beverley’s Saturday Marketplace. The first of the 150 competitors were flagged away at 09:00, with such a large entry is a testament to the rally’s growing popularity in only its third year of running.

The event is only one of five closed road rallies in the country. Which means that the club use closed public roads which are then used as special stages for the event. Competitors use other public roads to get to each stage, so the cars have to be road legal and obey the highway code.

The rally featured some challenging stages across East Yorkshire’s roads, attracting some of the best competitors from across the UK. A large number of competitors were driving Ford Fiesta’s of different specs, from WRC to R5 and R2’s, along with Ford Escort’s, Subaru Impreza’s, Mitsubishi Evo’s and a number of other manufacturers including an Aston Martin Vantage build by Prodrive (the same team that build the Subaru’s Impreza for 1995 World Rally Champion Colin McRae) for the Race of Champions. With many thousands of rally fans, lining the stage at Westwood.

After a cold and overnight frost, a number of competitors hit trouble in the first couple of stages, including the past winner of this event David Henderson who had turbo issues and would eventually retire from the event.

The sun did come out, mid-morning but started to cloud over just before the action got underway for the start of SS5. Competitors were set off at one-minute intervals but once the first car was due to start SS6 (this followed only 15 minutes later after the start of SS5 and was the same stage layout), this was reduced to 30 seconds as later cars starting SS5 would also be setting off.

Winner of the 2024 East Riding Stages Rally was Mark Kelly driving the Skoda Fabia R5, car#5, with co-driver Will Atkins.

Top 3.

Car 5. Skoda Fabia R5 driven by Mark Kelly and co-driver Will Atkins

Welcome to JCB Photography’s new design and look website, all ready for the 2024 Motor-sport season. We will be at Harewood Hill for all eight of the Harewood Speed Championship meetings as well as the two visits from the British Hillclimb Championship in May and July. Not forgetting the Classic and Vintage Hillclimb at the beginning of June. For all the dates take a look our Events page tab at the top of the screen. I will keep the events list as up to-date as much as possible but always check on the event organisers website for full details.

I will still have other work published on both the Piston Click and Harewood Hill website.

I have plans to cover some new events for us at Cadwell Park Circuit and Donington Park Circuit, later in the season bringing back Rallying and a couple of Sprints.

I hope to attend, an event that I have not done for a few years, later in the year.
