This is the third in a series of three videos featuring drivers at the August 2018 hill climb event at Forrestburn being interviewed by our very own Alistair Reynolds, channelling Alan Whicker. They mostly talk about their cars – but occasionally about themselves. In this video, Scott Goodfellow, Jamie Gibbon, Gordon McRobbie, Mike Stewart, Ross Glen, Donald Coltart and Simon Scott are the stars.

It’s been a while since photographer David Baxter came to a hill climb event. On a previous occasion, he focused on people in the paddock and around the track and has done the same again this time. Hope you enjoy these – thanks David.
Here are the images:
Here is the first set of images from our event on Saturday 25 August 2018 taken by William Stuart and Jim Flynn. We are always grateful to all the photographers who allow us to use their images of events – they all have a different take on the track, the cars and the people. As far as I know, William and Jim haven’t been to Forrestburn before so welcome to them and thanks.
In the image above, I imagined that Colin ‘Mad’ McLachlan’s goggles had slipped over his eyes so that the heavy frames obscured his view of the track. It’s quite a remarkable feat to drive the hill in these circumstances but I guess Colin has been here so many times that he can drive it without looking.
Here’s the photo gallery:
Well, that was exactly as predicted yesterday – a thoroughly dismal day in pouring rain with plenty of red flags, trips into the landscape and murky weather. Ross Napier took BTD again on 47.51 seconds in his NBR Force PC and second BTD was set by a very familiar face from years gone by – Gary Dickson from Stromness in his Force Steadspeed Type 15 on 50.60 seconds. Welcome back Gary.
Well done to all the marshals, officials and of course the competitors for an excellent day of motor sport despite the awful conditions. You can download the results here.
I’m sure we will have many photographs from the weekend and we will post them as they become available. We will also have some interesting video interviews with some drivers talking about their cars.
