Knockagh Hill Climb – Cancellation

Knockagh Hill Climb – Cancellation

It is with sincere regret that the Ulster Automobile Club have made the decision to cancel the 2022 Knockagh Hill Climb, which was due to be the final round of the ANICC Hill Climb Championship & the UAC Club Championship.

This decision was not taken lightly, but due to lack of entries & rising costs this meant that it was not feasible to run the event.

We hope you understand our decision & look forward to seeing you at our next event, the UAC October Sprint on Saturday 8th October at Kirkistown.

A full refund will be given to each entrant, but please be patient as this does take some time to process.

The Club would like to thank all those competitors who had entered & all those that had signed on to marshal and support the Hill Climb.

Once again our sincere apologies.

Yours in Motorsport

Wilson Carson

Clerk of the Course

More details will follow but in the meantime have a look in the shed / garage / garden / attic to see if you can find one of these!
