I checked the sticky at the top of the page + did a search for hill climb on the forum to check whether or not it had been previously suggested. I couldn't see anything so I figured I would make a thread.
Basicallly I think point to point hill climbs would be a cool addition. Obviously they wouldn't be suitable for multi player courses <well unless everyone went on and took turns...not a problem on a course that only lasts 40-50seconds? Gives you time to fiddle with set up between goes> Certainly oppertunity for good hotlaps action! The local hill climb course here has a record some where near 40seconds if I remember correctly.
In the UK they seem to be a very popular form of grass roots motor sport.
The game already has all the style of cars you'd expect at a hill climb...small FWD, open top caterham style and the open wheeled formula cars.
Courses ideally would be narrow tarmac affairs with plenty of corners that climb up a hill. The often have hair pins as they wind back and forth up the hill. Quite a large change in elevation would be ideal. It makes it difficult keeping your speed up but gives advantages when breaking up hill...some good skills to learn. It could be applied in reverse with down hill courses.
Most likely to be in country/wooded settings.
I guess the Goodwood festival of speed hill climb is a famous example but there are plenty of small tracks in country estates etc around the country.
