Anyone local worth a drive.
It's not something I would recommend travelling a long distance or time to attend, as there isn't much parking and if like last year was quite busy at the top.
The road isn't a closed event but was fun last year with some interesting cars.

Used to cycle it many moons ago. Are you allowed to race up? Assume the road is closed and it’s a timed hill climb from the cricket ground at the bottom all the way up? I’m unable to make it there today but would be interested next summer.

No it isn't a closed road event, so not timed and open to all traffic as usual... including the cyclists.
Just for fun at road legal speeds, and a gathering of car enthusiasts.

Ah ok, so just a gathering of petrolheads. Shame U.K. councils don’t sanction things like that. I’d love to have a go at something like a 3-5 mile section of road that you know well, closed and timed.

Quite windy and spotting with rain a bit now at the top.
Did a few runs with a car full!
They are trying for a road closure next year, hope they are successful!

Had a Porsche 996 owner in the back, he could not believe how nice it sounded, and his comment over the gear change "it's savage!!"

Gutted, wish I'd known about this as would have brought the strad up as not far from me! Is it just a 1-day event or on tomorrow as well?
