2008 Hillclimb season update (Harewood Speed Hillclimb)

This year brings a new look for the Playtoy site, along with a host of new clint nickcars! Simon will be competing in the 1600 Caterham running slick tyres and aero screen mostly at Harewood Hillclimb after selling the Renault Clio Cup Race Car.

Rick is also building a RAW Striker to be powered by a 2.0 vauxhall red top - watch this space its looking like it will be a full on hillclimb tool!

New additions to the Hillclimb scene will be Dave and Paul - running a 106 1.3 Rallye as a "training car"

The acquisition of a Metro GTI also means Simon Green and Nick will be entering a number of the Ilkley and District motor club auto test and production car trial events!

For updates on how we get on through out the year, keep a check here on our progress!
