Scrapheap Challenge: The Scrappy Races

Hill Climb (2x3)

Fecha de emisión: Ene 23, 2005

Our teams have a mountain to climb in this week's Scrappy Races. They have just eight hours to tweak their street-legal roadsters into vertigo-inducing hill climbers that can race up a precipitous one-in-two hill in the Yorkshire Dales. As they come into the contest, Knuckleheadz are neck and neck with reigning champions Chaos Crew as they scale the leader-board. But Cops and Bodgers and the Tartan Starlets are right behind them, looking for their first wins. The judge This week's judge is Julian Fack, who is one of the best-known faces on the Sporting Trials Car scene. Sporting trials use lightweight cars designed for optimum stability, traction and manoeuvrability – all qualities that our teams' vehicles will need. Julian started in the sport in 1972 and had built his first car by 1973. Since then, he has won the British championships eight times (more than anyone else) and every time in a car he built himself. Julian is also the chairman of RACMSA (Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association) Trials Committee and was the Director of the RACMSA 1997 to 2003, as well as being the editor of The Clear Round, the only sporting trials magazine.
