The legendary hill climb event is back at Nandi Hills. Hope to see many of you there. Had no idea the FIA supported this event.

As always, it is on weekdays which makes it difficult for us enthusiasts to attend

Since it is run on public roads and by blocking traffic to allow three to five runs and then reopening the road for traffic, there is no choice but to run it on a weekday. Public traffic on a weekend will be too heavy to get time for hill climb runs.

Any updates or confirmation on the event. Any bhpian taking part? Don't want to miss the bikes with the all the possible 390's, striples, kwackers etc this time around.

Any idea what time the runs start for 22nd Jan for 4 wheelers?

killjoy · 22nd January 2015, 15:28

Apparently the event for today did not happen, some spectator mishap leading the cops to cancel the permission given earlier.
