I find it sad that me asking a simple question has caused so many problems, and as an outsider from another form of motorsport this has seriously put me off sprints and hillclimbs. Almost been made to feel unwelcome by some posts. You wouldn't find this in rallycross, almost everybody has the well being of each other, new competitors and the sport as a whole in mind!

Maybe i'll stick to rallycross then...
Don't be put off by people with an axe to grind!

The vast majority of Hillclimb and Sprint competitors are very welcoming.

As for being uncompetitive I have been running a 1970 Lotus Elan all this season in Sports Libre. I have had a great time chasing the clock and despite being off the pace of the specialist opposition I am still doing rather well in my chosen championship.

Do try Speed Events, you may eventually decide that Rallycross is better but if you don't try it you'll never know what you've missed!
