i'm a simple man, i see a Cosworth, i click

That’s how should be 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Same here ❤

[@joe125ful]

You must be soo simple:)

[@HillClimbMonsters]

We some other Cossy units to show....

[@PapaTroll86]

I see a Cosworth, I click (then switch over to left hand operation of the device.) And yes, that means exactly what you are picturing.

Thank you very much HillclimbMonsters for showing our humble hillclimb championship

[@HillClimbMonsters]

It deserves the attention ;)

I love that 106 GTi ideal car for those tight corners,seems very agile! 9:53 Clear winner for me!! Love Italian cars.

That Alfa is clear favorite of mine alongside Cosworth YB powered Fiesta WRC.Both are so fast and so beautiful.

[@joe125ful]

@@hillclimbracingfan5821 I like that Cosworth YB too but i was thinking that BMW M3 E30 is tiny touch better because of that engine sound and really playfull rear :):)

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

That YB-swapped Fiesta WRC+ is a thing of fucking beauty. The very idea sends a shiver down my spine.... ...to say nothing of Super Mario's massive moment at 13:26. Takes balls to modify such a finicky car to that extent and then treat it like a rental.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

That thing deserves a special feature we would say...there´s some trick stuff on that thing that deserves a closer look...

[@bayandasibiya7000]

the minute i saw that golf 5 corner, I instantly knew it was not rear wheel drive

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Yeah, our lapse on that one.. we noticed the mistake pretty much as we uploaded 😐

Wow more 10 sec downtime Iliopoulos Fiesta WRC ..amazing!!

[@frankmcgorman962]

Mario Iliopoulos in his Fiesta looked like he was on a mission. I was thinking he'd knock a couple of seconds off the previous driver's time. I did not expect a full eleven seconds!!

[@HillClimbMonsters]

He broke the Course record too here ;)

[@grigorisbagiaras8065]

Did you see the difference in HP? Not saying he cant drive but these seconds are purely "money-into-car" related.

[@newagetemplar6100]

With just over a 4 minute runs here , that’s more than the last 3 race meeting I’ve been to . MSA have got addicted to yellow flags and safety cars . After 4 races 2 finished under the safety car , one had about 5 laps of racing due to yellow flags and the other was a full 15-20 minutes . MSA GET A GRIP it’s not F1

[@HillClimbMonsters]

And remember these were a total of 5 runs during 2 two days...

The times posted here are the sum of the two legs on Sunday.

I'm no expert, but I don't think braking hard enough to lock up your tires is good for your time.

The fiesta driver simply has the best car out there because he just has the money. Get them on same category cars and I bet the outcome would be dramaticly different.

[@P.E.O.ll-RhodesScholarGraduate]

You rally drivers are just too technical on dry streets. 😂 Ritsona is a Driftclimb baby! Someone needs to throw some dirt on the road next time. 🤣 Hillclimb crack that whip.
