Australian Hillclimb Championship

The Australian Hillclimb Championship is a CAMS sanctioned motor sport competition which determines Australia's annual hillclimbing champion. The championship has traditionally been awarded to the driver setting fastest time at a single meeting [1] however the 1958 title was awarded based on the combined results of two meetings [2] and a multi round pointscore series was employed from 1972 to 1975.[1]
