BROOKLANDS RACING:
Racing at the Brooklands Double 12
includes driving tests
and a Concours d'Elegance over two days, seemingly every type of car, motorcycle
and even a pair of Segway's had a go at the Hill Climb, then there was the
matter of hauling a car up the hill with ropes and a new record time was set.

Two Segways had a go at the hill, both floundered just after half

was set hauling a 'car' up the hill.
