2018 - HEPBURN HILLCLIMB LOCATION
Gordon Dobie recalls: You will see from the photo's the cars started at the kiosk and headed towards the town centre, but instead of turning left they went straight ahead through a fast esse bend leading up a hill at the crest of which is a sharpe right hand turn, up a street which took them to the finish line.
