MX-6 Hillclimb

Haven't posted a vid in a while.. Took part in a hillclimb a couple of weeks ago in the MX-6.. Turns out that car was way too big for the event and way to stiffly sprung for those very bumpy roads... Tyres weren't soft enough either...

Here's a short clip of one run on a simple section of course... The chicanes were way too tight...

god the engine sounds golden

you just need some lighter wheels and taller sidewalls...that'll smoothen out the ride a little bit

Btw, were those rocks hitting the undercarriage or were you popping popcorn?

[fizzle]ing filthy! It does look to stiff going up the last stretch of the course.

A few cars ended upside-down in a ditch at that event... It looks very slow on video but I can tell you at 100mph on those narrow bumpy roads I was sawing away at the wheel trying not to get pitched off the road... You don't get to see the road or course before you drive them so it keeps you on your toes not knowing what is around the next bend...

That looks fun but your 6 is definitely out of place at that event.
