Mt Cootha Classic Hillclimb Results – 5th Sept. 2015

Mt Cootha Hillclimb, Saturday 5^th September 2105

This Hillclimb was last run in 2010, the event was organized to show the history of Motorsport in Queensland and that there were Hillclimb,s held on this track back in the early 1920’s.

There were large crowds of spectators that attended the Cootha Classic for 2015 and they were able to see some exciting racing of all type of vehicles a total of 90 cars competing. The fastest time of the day was Dean Tighe in his Dallara Judd with a time of 42.11 sec, in second place was Warwick Hutchinson in his RPV02 Rotary Hillclimb Racing Car with a time of 42.23 just 0.12 sec behind Dean. Third outright was Stewart Reid in his Audi Quattro with a very impressive time of 46.17 sec.

There was only 2 Rotary Hillclimb racing cars entered for this event, Allen Dibble in his Mazda RX7 & Warwick Hutchinson (RPV02) Allen ended up 19^th in his class & 59^th outright.

This was a great event it highlighted motorsport with Brisbane CBD just a stone through away, with fantastic food and live music it should be bigger and better next year and hopefully we will be able run this event in 2016.
