Southern Cross Sheds Noosa Hillclimb 8th & 9th Nov 2014 – Results.
This Hillclimb was proudly sponsored by Southern Cross Sheds. Thanks must also go to the organizing committee of the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club and the HRCC for a well organized event.
The outright winner of this event was Michael Von Rappard in his beautifully prepared Dallara F392. Michael set his fastest time on the 2nd run on Sunday with a time of 52.52 this makes Michael one of the quickest cars to ever run up “The Hill” well done Michael see you next year.
With 5 runs on Saturday and 4 on Sunday the entrants had 9 official runs over the weekend With 150 cars taking part in this event there was only 3 Rotary Hillclimb Racing Cars competing in this Hillclimb, Robert Bellinger (Mazda RX3), Lou Szekely (Mazda RX7) and Warwick Hutchinson’s (RPV02 13B Turbo) their best times are listed below.
Robert Bellinger in his Mazda RX3 was running in Touring Group 3 Touring Cars Class C. Roberts RX3 sounded fantastic, just how a good rotor should sound. Robert did well setting his fastest time on his 2nd last run on Sunday afternoon with a 64.69 sec. This put him 1st in his class and 32nd outright, well done great to see.
Lou Szekely in his Mazda Rx7, Lou was running his RX7 in Touring Group 4 Touring Cars Class C. Lou set his fastest time for the weekend on his first run on Sunday morning with a time of 69.41 sec. This placed Lou 3rd in his class and 78th outright.
Warwick Hutchinson in his RPV02 Formula Libre normally runs at Noosa without any major problems, this year was different all went well on Saturday but he had an issue on his 1st run on Sunday morning. As he went into turn 10 at 142kph the RHS rear suspension broke a joint, this put an end to his weekend. At least the car did not hit anything major, hope to see the car next year.
