'The Hill' is a combined event run by the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club and the Historic Racing Car Club (Qld). The Hill is seductively attractive to drivers. Fourteen corners in lightning succession are a few too many for easy recollection – and they all have their tricks. There is a good hot mix surface – thanks to the support of Noosa Council, plus the spice of steep banks on one side, (offering an easy route to inversion) and of awesome drop-offs on the other. www.noosacarclub.com.au
