The 1920s marked the peak of the climb's popularity, with legendary drivers like Louis Zborowski setting records that still stand today.
End of Competition: Due to a minor accident involving a spectator in the 1920s, the last competitive event was held in 1925. Subsequently, the RAC banned all motorsport on public roads.
