Saturday 7th August 1920 saw the first Holme Moss Hill Climb, organised jointly by the Huddersfield, Halifax and Bradford Automobile clubs. The firstevent was won by Capt Malcolm Campbell driving his Blue Bird Talbot. Over the four years that followed, famous drivers of the day such as Archie Frazer Nash, Raymond Mays, Parry-Thomas and local favourite Eddie Hall, competed for FTD on the fearsome hill.
Today’s hill climb covers the same route (although slightly shorter) as the original climb. And will take place on the weekend of the 8th and 9th of August 2020. We start on Ings bridge just after Holme village at 1017 feet above sea level and, after several testing corners and long straights we finish 1 1/4 miles later, just below Holme Moss Summit at 1640 feet above sea level. A genuinely momentous hill climb and guaranteed to be a thrilling as any in the UK. Entries will open at he end of February 2020.
