2021 Interclub Hillclimb Series

Welcome to the 2021 Interclub Hillclimb Series

This series has been running successfully for a number of years and it goes hand in hand with the rallysprint series. The same car clubs that put on the rallysprints also put on the hillclimbs. The series is historically well supported, although it does often tend to fly under the radar regarding publicity.

It offers hillclimbs that are run on gravel and tarmac, all are superb and run on great roads, cheap to enter and yet are very competitive. It does not quite attract the calibre of entrants as its big brother but it still provides fantastic grassroots competition, the atmosphere is a little more relaxed than the rallysprints and leans more to the entry level motorsport. It’s run prior to Christmas although this year will flow over to the new year and so the weather is normally great, the rallysprints and rally seasons are normally done and dusted and it’s a series that’s just real fun to do.

While the start of the series was disrupted with Quine Road running during the Auckland COVID lockdown and therefore not able to count for points. Northland Doctors Hill Road has been put on ice as well and it looks like the Hibiscus Coast Motorsport club’s Tahoa Road hillclimb will be the opening round this year, returning to the venue for the second time.

Points

There will be no registrations, everyone who enters a round will automatically score points for their car club. Points will be awarded for overall positions and also classes on the day, but for the series it’s the points in the classes that will count. Each competitor will be awarded points reflecting where they finished, these points will be added up, and also added to other classes for each car club. The car club whose members produce the most points after the last round will be the Interclub Hillclimb champions, individuals will also be rewarded with their class and overall positions.

The points allocations are as below.

Overall goes from 20 points down to 1 with everyone getting 1 point
