Video of my 500bhp RA setting New Hill Record at Epynt Hillclimb!
I raced at the Epynt hillclimb in Wales this weekend in my Zen 500bhp Impreza, it's part of a tarmac rally stage and is just an awesome place.
I won the event with fastest time of the day and set a new hill record.
Heres the incar video, I hope you enjoy!

Pity about the over exposure on the first part of the video.
Looks a total missile
Love the speed u carried through the tight right hander near the end

Well done mate! The applause that went round the paddock when you did 57secs was amazing
I was running the little 205 Roland Garros, managed an 83 second run which I didnt think was too bad, considering I'd never driven the car before!

Thanks Liz, you don't put me off at all! Loton was the first time I had driven the car without misfire and handling sorted so still getting to grips with it, and tyres were knackered, all the driving I got a Curborough got me up to speed and new tyres for this weekend meant I'm flying again!
Prescott this weekend if your bored.

I know the camera doesn't seem to deal with contrast well but I'm moving the position before I'm out again. I'm also working on my headlight cam' so watch this space.

Great time Rob.
Its a shame you can't sort out the video exposure as I'd love to see the lines in more detail.
Is this you first run at Epynt?
Do you come any further South this year?
