Surprised nobody's mentioned this. Multiple champion taking to the hill in his 700bhp single seater. View is from a camera between his eyes!

Climb Dance is one of my all time favorite videos.

Ari Vatanen is a beast!!

Kind of a shame that the route is fully paved now...

Wow!
Thanks for the video!

From that perspective and with the speeds shown that gives a whole different picture than from the regular videos taken from outside.
With 120+mph through the village and with 150+mph over twisty rural roads. With rocks and walls on the left and on the right. And no run-off areas, no ARMCOs. Nothing. Oh, I forgot they put some cute Hay bales in the most dangerous turns.
After seeing that I don't wonder for a second anymore why there are fatal accidents in Hillclimbing now and then. I never fully appreciated what they are doing there. From a risk perspective you cannot even start to compare modern F1 or any other of the Circuit events to this here.
Again: Wow!

Cool viewpoint, but that single seater barely gets to stretch its legs at Harewood.... I may be slightly biased... But I think a Westfield having its neck wrung at the same track is far more exciting to watch...

I've only been once but I did manage to win in my class in the Westfield championship that day... I think my fastest time came on a run where I span the car across the finish line.. Oops! (The video above isn't me BTW; I was nowhere near that good!)

If I were to be biased, I'd show this video driving around the footpaths in Crystal Palace Gardens. A dab of opposite lock through the final corner. Sometimes it goes wrong.
