- 27 June 2021 Wow oh wow... What an event the 2021 Noosa Hillclimb was! The 24 th year of the event has seen 132 drivers putting themselves and their vehicles to the test, as they weaved through 1500 metres of bitumen, steering through 14 tight & moderately sweeping corners. For Justin McCarthy it certainly was exciting as he celebrated his 81 st Birthday doing the thing he loves..racing his 1925 Austin 7 up the Hill as he had been doing for many years. It was also Birthday celebrations for our Pizza Vendor and another Racing Driver! But the Super Stars for 2021 who Wowed the crowd were: Professional racing Driver Broc Feeney, and Supercar Champion Fabian Coulthard . Major Sponsor Reed & Co also brought 14 cars to the track as part of "TH E REED TEAM". It was also a first for Adrian Reed to race -18 th place overall congratulations!

Long racing Member Peter Dutkowski came 3 rd in the 2 seater 2001 - 3000cc class. Still racing too was Rob van Wegen but think that son Ben (16 Th overall) has the speed now. Another long time racer at the Hill is Max Stephenson who took to the podiun once again winner of the Regularity class - his beautiful Aston Martin was defenitely the best Classic Racing car in the pits. Congratulations. I would like to mention Scott Bingham too who could not have all his Runs on the track.. but had more runs in the pits helping .. still a great result for you and hopefully you will have all your runs on the track next time!
And behind the scenes were the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club commitee , Volunteers , Support Members and the Racers Super Support team. A Big thank You to ALL. A special Thanks to Jon Carroll , Mike & Kate Rider for all their hard work, months before the event. Also, Peter Quinn , Colin Fabri , Tony Tyrrell , Karen Ho , Kel Bankin, Ian Anderson , and Adam Krueger.
