The venue offers unrivalled views of high speed motorsport action set against a backdrop of the beautiful Wharfedale valley. Cars compete against the clock on the 1440 metre tarmac track, with the latest single seater racing cars reaching speeds of 130 mph.

Organised and run by the British Automobile Racing Club’s Yorkshire centre, the Harewood Speed Hill Climb Championship consists of several rounds of competition over the course of the year.

Providing a unique challenge like no other hill climb venue, Harewood’s picturesque scenery has become renowned for being the ultimate haven for drivers to test themselves behind the wheel as they race against the stopwatch.

The overall championship will pit road-going, modified saloon and sports cars against single seater thoroughbreds, with all competitors competing against the best time from their respective class.

In the FTD Championship, which runs parallel to the main category, points are based on the fastest times set at each round, predominantly dominated by those piloting single seater machinery too.
