Holme Moss Hill Climb 2024

Join me, Mark Stone, as I explore the thrilling Holme Moss Hill Climb 2024, the final recreation of this historic event. We start by delving into the History of Hill Climb Racing and how it has evolved. Then, enjoy exclusive interviews, starting with Guy Loveridge, the event organiser, who gives us an insider's view of orchestrating this monumental race.

We also chat with key participants, including Christianne Ireland, David Barzilay with his unique Aston Martin, Andy Harrison, who shares his passion for hill climbing, and Ian Kellett, who introduces us to his powerful vehicle, "The Beast." We also hear from Steve Tarrant, the iconic motor racing marshal, who reflects on the importance of safety in motorsport.

Throughout the episode, we celebrate Aston Martin's legacy, tackle the challenges of one of Yorkshire's toughest roads, and look towards the future of hill climb events post-2024. Don't miss the inside scoop on the family's car collection, upcoming events, and the future of the Holme Moss Hill Climb while supporting the Yorkshire Air Ambulance with music from The Bluebirds.
