Man that was scarey!

No offence, but how is that a hill climb? It is just a casual little incline...?

Its a traditional UK hill climb. They take place on windy challenging roads with with a tarmac/loose in places surface going uphill which are designed to test acceleration and handling rather than outright brute power and you'll see cars and bikes up that same narrow track. The vehicles themselves tend to be somewhat more experimental, and its not uncommon to see retired f1 cars out on track.

Not to be confused with the widowmaker etc style us hill climb.
