Grande Punto Abarth takes to the Hillclimbs
Thursday, March 26th, 2009Abarth will be attending a series of hillclimbs at venues across the UK to showcase the performance of the Grande Punto Abarth. The events will be organised by local motorsport clubs and will take place at the following dates and venues:
- April 25th Goodwood, Nr Chichester
- June 21st & 22nd Doune, Stirling, Scotland
- July 4th Shelsley Walsh, Worcester
- July 19th Gurston Down, Dorset
- August 2nd Harewood Hillclimb, Yorkshire
- September 12th Thoresby Park, Nottingham
Abarth will be entering two Grande Punto Abarth esseesse at each event, driven by selected motoring journalists, who will have been driving the cars on the road for a week prior to the event so as to gain an all-round picture of the car’s performance.
Local dealers have been invited to enter their own demonstrators, and Abarth owners can also compete. However, to do this you’ll need to apply for a competition licence, and will have to pay both for membership of the organising club and the event entry fee (typically around £100 for each event).
Spectators are welcome to most events (admission is typically around £10 per person), and the Abarth hospitality rig will be in attendance.
