Name of article[edit]

If you do a Google search for "Gurston Down", the resulting text includes the phrase "Official site of the Gurston Down Motorsport Hillclimb" - so in spite of the fact that the official site largely ignores the word "Motorsport", I've put it in as it seems to be the proper full name. There are redirects from Gurston Down hillclimb etc so it shouldn't matter too much. Loganberry (Talk) 21:26, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Downhill section[edit]

It's true that Gurston is the only hill which has a downhill start, but it's not the only one with a downhill section, as Loton Park has one. Loganberry (Talk) 14:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: Downhill section[edit]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the start line at Wiscombe Hill, near Branscombe in Devon, is also downhill. The marshalls used to use a wooden block to stop the cars rolling forward through the timing beam, as I remember. Spjspencer (talk) 20:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
