Prescott Hillclimb, 21st August 2011. My first visit to the hill. These are my four back to back demo runs from the afternoon session. Staying in 1st/2nd gear on the 3rd run was the fastest way up the hill for me.
I touched 65.5mph on my 3rd timed run, in which I kept the car in 2nd gear all the way up to Pardon, and then used 2nd for the majority of the rest of the hill.
This is Graham Blackwell's Ford Fiesta XR2, which is 16V Duratec powered, with 200BHP and a Quaife Sequential gearbox. Owned since 1992, and continuously developed throughout its life. This car is built for competition, and is used regularly throughout the year on sprints, hillclimbs, track days, and shows.
it was very quick up the hill and now i can see why! Sequential box sounds awesome!!
