Watergate Bay Speed Hillclimb has launched the second running of the popular motorsport weekend and entries are now open for the September 14/15 closed-road speed event based near Newquay.

The Hillclimb is set to attract a wide variety of competitors from across the UK to the region as around 120 cars will compete for the fastest time on the new course.

Jointly organised by Newquay Auto Club, Plymouth Motor Club and Truro and District Motor Club, the course has been extended by 130 metres from last year, with the total length now standing at 850 meters. The extension, which has been added to the end of the 2018 course, offers a new challenge for competitors as they tackle the stretch from Watergate Bay along the B3276 coast road between Padstow and Newquay. Competitors will also be brought closer to the fans thanks to a change in the location of the paddock to the other side of the course.

After raising over £6,000 for local charities Cornwall Air Ambulance and Cornwall Food Foundation, the event will continue to donate its profits to both charities in 2019.
