Bickley Motorsport

Been a while since my last post so apologies!

Been a rather hectic and disappointing few weeks that started with yet another engine failure at Harewood.
A strip down showed the block had cracked in every cylinder wall and we'd lost a large piece of the cylinder head.
We made the decision to quickly rebuild the engine onto our standard spare rather than rebore and have to wait for it to come back from the states again.

Unfortunately we underestimated the power loss we would suffer as a result and a trip to Daytuner last week confirmed we are 20bhp down from the previous engine spec. However this is the reality for the foreseeable future so we have to just make the best of it and push on.

British Hillclimb Champs at Shelsley Walsh last weekend and the power deficit is clear from the speed traps, however we were lucky to come away with 2nd and 3rd places finishes!
Loton Park with the Midland Hillclimb Championship this weekend and then a nice week long tour round Scotland before we arrive at Doune for the next BHC rounds.

Thanks as always to Optimal Graphics and Capture Your Car Photography by Stuart Wing for the ongoing support and photos.

Credit to for the clip too.

Solid weeked at last weekend for the Midland Hillclimb Championship.

2 x 4th place finishes in the run offs and finished up half a second off our PB.
Be interesting to see how quickly the track improves throughout the year!

Fantastic images from as always with some exciting new vantage points.

And a massive well done to who managed to get into the 2nd run off and score a point at his first Midland event! Superb job!

Off to tomorrow for thr next round of the on Sunday!

A tricky weekend at Prescott Hill Climb for the first two rounds of the British Hillclimb Championship.

Always a venue that we struggle more at than others but after a frantic week overcoming engine issues we were happy to just even be there with a new electric water pump install after the chain break at Loton caused a broken drive shaft from the oil pump to the mechanical water pump!

After some steady runs on Saturday checking temps during runs and for leaks afterwards we managed to start picking up the pace on Sunday.

Really struggled finding the right revs for a successful launch controlled start without bogging down, but at the end of the day we managed to take a 3rd and a 4th, with our best run being a second off our PB.

After nearly a year out the car we will just take one event at a time and let the pace come back to us, rather than rush it and risk an off!

Great photos by our partner Capture Your Car Photography by Stuart Wing as always!
And in other news, fantastic to hear our sponsor Optimal Graphics set a new PB at Curborough, testing his replacement engine following a mechanical issue. Great work!

On to Shelsley Walsh this weekend for the 2nd pair of rounds of Midland Hill Climb Championship!

Busy first weekend at for the first rounds of the Midland Hillclimb championship.

Engine woes had caused 2 cars in the class to withdraw pre event leaving a small class.
On our 2nd practise run our chains split link cried enough and after calling a Lorry Uber we discovered in the paddock we had resulting damage which we spent the rest of the afternoon and Sunday morning repairing to get us out for timed runs Sunday.

It was worth the effort though as we finished the weekend with 2 class wins and a 9th and 6th in the run offs so solid points.

On to this weekend for the opening rounds of the .
