Wiscombe Park Hill Climb

Description

The fastest sections of the course are the Wis and Castle Straights where, in the case of the latter, the fastest cars are geared to achieve 125 m.p.h.

A controlled pedestrian crossing (Castle Straight) enables spectators to migrate from the enclosure at the Esses to the Sawbench Hairpin and vice versa. This crossing is open after the competing cars return down the hill in groups.

Some drivers believe that Wiscombe Park is one, if not the most challenging hill in the national championship. Once you have witnessed the drivers fighting their machines through the camber changes of The Esses and then rounding the hairpins at Sawbench and Martini it becomes obvious that this is a ‘drivers’ hill. A demanding drivers hill!
