Thanks for all the nice comments.

Mike - BARC count all the Porsches as one class, but we compete behind the scenes in sub classes, so no award for me sadly. However, Paul Howells (yellow491) did an awesome PB and new record for the unlimited hillclimb championship class in 59.43 from memory, so he will get an award :cheers:

Stuart - like you I don't have lots of power, standard Boxster 2.5 204ps for me, so I just have to carry as much speed as I can everywhere. The only place I am doing anything other than accelerating or braking is Orchard - everywhere is flat or hard on the brakes pretty much. There is loads to gain in the first part of quarry; most brake half way up the straight But as you can see with a bit less power you can just lift and turn, then feather before downshifting and dab the brakes for the tightest bit. It takes some balls though, and belief, as you know how blind it is!


Cheers
