  • Aha nice! I did a bit of hillclimbing years back but only ever trackdays on short circuit stuff. I grew up in the Lake District so Oulton was the closest to us, awesome place.

    Chili rep looks ace, I always had a thing for the Phase One endurance bikes too:

  • My uncle used to work with Phase One - went over to Le Mans a couple of times when I was a kid. Last time I was there I was 10 (so 1996), milling round the pits and chilling in the team caravan, didn't feel glamourous back then and looking back was definitely far from glamourous, pretty cool though. They didn't do very well in those days IIRC. Ragging round the campsite on a dirt bike was fun as well.

  • Nice! I'd have loved to have gone to the Bol d'Or back in the day when it was all done on a shoestring budget. Tales of Terry Rymer going faster at night than in the day and the Frenchies not being able to get their heads around it.
