Hi Guy i do sprints and hillclimbs on the isle of man at the moment...
Most events are put on by a club so you have to be a memeber to compete, once my cars back on the road count me in
Would be good to get more micras in my local event too..

Yeh im in the Manx Motor Racing Club mate, have a read of the below its got all you'll need to know
http://www.hillclimbandsprint.co.uk/allabout.asp
Basically you will need a minium of a non race national b license... no test required you just apply for it
Then some FIA spec boots, gloves, helmet & race suit (usuall rule of just buy the best you can afford)
The UK have alot more classes for hillclimbs than my local event, im against everything from GT40's to Westfield Megbusa's!
I cannot recommend it enough if your after some fun competition!!

I have had a look on http://www.hillclimbandsprint.co.uk/allabout.asp and think i will probably join this club!
Had a look and a lisence is £33 and club fee is £46, not too shabby!
I have seen some of your videos you posted up, looks like awesome fun! Hopefully there will be a suitible catagory for me!
Just need to get the car sorted now! What kind os set up do you have, mainly suspension wise, thats what im struggling to find parts for!
Thanks

Its a very cost effective way of doing a bit of competition
As far as i know the Uk classes start at up to 1400cc road classes which would be perfect for Micras to compete in!My suspension is 50mm tarmac rally springs, 22mm whiteline front & rear antirollbars with polly bushes, Bilstein OE dampers, solid rose jointed lower rear trailing arms & Nismo bushed upper trailing arms with a adjustable panard rod
Matt humphris supplied the springs & ARB & panard rod and the bushes were from powerflex.

What do you get for your £46 Guy, free entrys? I've been in several motor clubs since '08 and that's all that's needed to enter most events, sprints and hillcimbs included. I have a nearly finished road rally spec micra but I will have done Autosolos and Autotests. Next month it enters Car Trials and possibly Easylarity rallys and maybe a Classic trial before Road rallys later in the year. I don't see why you need to fork out £46 for a membership card!
