Hill Climb Gjern (Silkeborg) 2007

25/08-2007

Another session in the Hill Climb season were held in Gjern close to Silkeborg, check out the map below.
The event started just fine with good times and still lots of seconds to find on the route. About half through the route most cars were airborne and on the two test laps some were landing very hard. On the first counting run I landed too hard and unfortunately broke the oil sump pan ending my day :-(

Times:
00:46.092
00:46.279
00:45.615

Check out the lap killing the oil pan here.
