We attended Harewood House Hillclimb School on the 13th of August 2026, which was an absolutely amazing day with like-minded car people.
We started the day off with a long 4-hour drive to get there, where tea and biscuits kicked off the day, followed by an introduction to the instructors, who were very friendly and helpful from the start.
After being split into groups, we set off to walk the course and discuss each corner in depth. We then followed this with a slow run up the hill, with an instructor beside us giving us as much information as possible.
Then it was onto the solo morning runs, with cones placed out to guide the entry point, apex and exit point. With the morning session complete, it was time for lunch, which was an excellent buffet, followed by video feedback from the morning sessions and some more pointers from the instructors.
Then it was onto the afternoon session, again with the instructors coming out to compare the difference from the morning session. After everyone had a run with the instructors, it was time for the open pit lane for the rest of the afternoon.
Once the day was done, it was time for the debrief, where Mr Duffy came away with Most Improved Driver of the Day — so another win for the Piranha Team! 👌👏🏻
All in all, it was an excellent day. A massive thank you to all the marshals and the Harewood team. We can’t wait until the next one and would highly recommend anyone giving it a go! 🏁🚗💨
