I attended the hillclimb school at Harewood yesterday, and Jamie was right. It was fantastic
There were 35 cars, most of which were from the Caterham Academy... they've got a hillclimb in a fortnight, so were along to learn the ropes.
I won't attempt to recount a lap, Jamies reports would put me to shame, besides I can't remember the names of most of the corners
It was very well organised, with 1 accompanied run and 3 unaccompanied runs each in the morning and afternoon. The last half hour was a free for all, so I got another 2 runs in. It's a very difficult course to learn quickly, but once you get over the shock, the VX feels very nimble and very well planted. Traction was great out of the slower corners.
Like most good courses I've come away thinking about all the places where I could have made up a few tenths by braking later, carrying a little more speed through the apex, or accelerating harder. I used the secondhand on my wristwatch to get a rough idea of the time on my last run, not very accurate I know, but managed about 72 secs dead. Which makes Jamie's sub-70 times look impressive!
And Jamie, as predicted, I'm keen to see what time I could get on a competitive day. It would be good to get a few more VX's along later in the year.

p.s. Good to see you today at Aintree BTW, I'm VERY sunburnt around the face/neck 
Well worth the trip though, I had a great time.
cheers
