The Wiscombe Park Hillclimb Championship is sponsored by Tillicoultry Quarries and it is open to regular competitors from all classes. It has a scoring system which rewards outstanding performance in each class - so the smallest road saloon can compete against the fastest single-seater.
All events at Wiscombe which are open to 'B licence' holders are included in the Championship - nine in total and the scores for the best six rounds count.
Other championships also include events at Wiscombe and it is possible for a competitor to enter more than one championship at the same time.
The Championship regulations for 2024 are now available - you can download a copy and an entry form here

We have been treated to another memorable season of motorsport at Wiscombe Park and many new records established. And now we have exciting news – the announcement of the winner of the 2024 Wiscombe Park Tillicoultry Quarries Championship.
It is a 9 Round Championship from which drivers count their best 6 results. Because of the wide range of cars competing, we have to be able to judge performances on a “level playing field” - no easy task for our Championship Co-ordinator, George Koopman. The method we use is based on the Class records. Points are scored at each round by bettering the bogey time for the relevant Class We had 61 drivers competing for the title.
And we are very pleased to confirm that our 2024 Champion is Ian Ingleheart! Congratulations Ian – a record breaking sixth Wiscombe Championship! Ian first clinched the title in 2015. He then achieved a back-to –back treble 2017-2019, with a further title in 2022.
Ian briefly lost the Championship lead to Julian Rinaldi after Round 8, however, Ian’s performance at the MG Car Club event last weekend setting a new Class Record - 39.64s - three tenths off his previous B3 record - just tipped the balance in his favour. Julian Rinaldi is runner up, with 2023 Champion, Paul Reynolds in third place.
Thank you to all the competitors – it has been another hard-fought and highly entertaining Championship – James Hudson and Julian Rinaldi took their turns at leading, however, Ian was determined to get title number six!
We also take this opportunity to thank George Koopman for administering the Championship; Eligibility Scrutineer, Tony Freeman; and Championship Stewards, Sarah Forsyth, Matt Isaac and Bob Jordan.
A special “thank you” to our sponsors, Wallace Menzies/Tillicoultry Quarries for their support which is very much appreciated.
