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. Also joining the Harewood regulars were some of the competitors from the British Hillclimb Championship, who would be using the event as extra practice for Sunday's championship event. 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.

Second in the 2025 Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship is now Henry Moorhouse driving his Honda powered Westfield. Wallace Menzies in his Gould GR59 is now third but will be concentrating on the British Hillclimb Championship and James Hudson driving the Subaru Impreza drops down to fourth.

The Fastest Time of the Day (FTD) was set by Wallace Menzies in his Gould GR59

Sunday British Hillclimb Championship.

Website for the British Hillclimb Championship:

https://www.britishhillclimb.co.uk/

The championship is organised and run by the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) of which the Yorkshire Centre runs the Harewood Hillclimb Championship at Harewood Hill, along with four rounds of the British Hillclimb Championship in 2025.

Matt Ryder returned to Harewood Hill and will again be driving the Judd engined Gould GR59, that he shares with chassis constructor Sean Gould in 2025.

Matt came to Harewood Hill with a three point lead over Will and Wallace who were in joint second position going into these next two rounds at Harewood Hill.

The Championship will return to Harewood Hill on 5th and 6th July.

Sunday morning again was nice and sunny, so conditions looked right for the possibility of the hill record to fall as the competition had been very close at the earlier rounds.

After the two timed runs the top twelve competitors would be timed against the clock for championship points, though only the top ten would be awarded points from 10 down to one point for tenth.

Round Five

1st Wallace Menzies Gould GR59

2nd Matt Ryder Gould GR59J

3rd Sean Gould GR59J

Round Six

1st Matt Ryder Gould GR59J

2nd Wallace Menzies Gould GR59

Though Wallace Menzies set the overall Fastest Time of the Day (FTD) on Sunday it is Matt Ryder that leaves Harewood Hill with a three point championship lead over Wallace Menzies, with Will Hall still managing to hold on to third, though now twelve points down Trevor Willis is in fourth.

Joining the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship competitors would be members from the MG Car Club, Jaguar Drivers Club and a number of drivers from the British Hillclimb Championship.

The morning started off nice and sunny but with a cool breeze, though the cloud would roll in along with a strengthening wind, which would keep the track temperatures down, especially for the third timed runs.

With just the two practice runs completed before the lunch break followed by three timed runs in the afternoon.

With a new class record set by 2024 Harewood Speed Hillclimb Champion Adam Riley in class 1A.

JCB Photography was again at Cadwell Park Circuit, this time for the single venue stage rally, the Alan Healy Memorial Rally on Sunday 6th April 2025.

The event is organized by the Border Motor Club and was round eight of the 2024/25 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship along with several other Stage Rally Championships including the Autoshop, MG3 Rally Challenge 2025.

Using the Cadwell Park Circuit and some of the access and service roads, with around 44 stages miles over nine Special Stages all within the confines of the Circuit but also using some of the access roads around the track.

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.

The final round of the 2024/25 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship will be the Altratech SMC Stages at Anglesey Circuit on Sunday 13th April.

JCB Photography was at Croft Circuit along with most of the official Teams and Driver entries for the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship 2025 on Wednesday 2nd April for the second day of the official TOCA test days.

Both of the two days testing at Croft would be under some nice spring sunshine, making a change from last years rain.

Young rookie Max Hall had set the festest time on Tuesday. Max driving his Un-Limited Motorsport Cupra time remained unbeaten until reigning Jack Sears Trophy Champion, Mikey Doble driving the Motor Parts Direct with Power Maxed Racing’s, Vauxhall Astra finaly beat the time set by Max in the final hour of testing.

The 2025 competitive season will kick off on 26th and 27th April at Donington Park Circuit using the National circuit for Rounds 1, 2 and 3.

The BTCC will return to Croft on 2nd and 3rd August for Rounds 16, 17 and 18 with the season rounded off at Brands Hatch (using the Grand Prix circuit) for Round 28, 29 and 30 on 4th and 5th October.

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

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

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.

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.
