Welcome to Cairncastle Hill Climb

Watching the Cairncastle Hill Climb is one of the most exciting ways to experience motorsport.

Feel the acceleration, hear the engines echo across the Antrim Coast, and watch some of the UK's quickest drivers tackle the longest hill climb course in the country.

Our marshals, officials and volunteers work hard throughout the weekend to make the event enjoyable and safe for everyone. However, motorsport is unpredictable, and every spectator has a responsibility to help keep themselves and others safe.

Enjoy the Event Safely

Please remember to:

  • Follow all marshal instructions at all times.

  • Park only in designated parking areas.

  • Stay within the official spectator viewing areas.

  • Observe all warning signs and safety barriers.

  • Keep children under close supervision.

  • Keep dogs on a short lead.

  • Never stand on the road or competition course.

  • Listen carefully to official announcements.

  • Respect local residents, farmland and the surrounding countryside.

  • Take your litter home or use the bins provided.

Expect the Unexpected

Motorsport is fast, exciting and unpredictable.

Competition cars may:

  • Run wide on corners.

  • Cut across apexes.

  • Throw stones or debris.

  • Overshoot braking areas.

  • Leave the road without warning.

Always remain alert and be prepared to move if instructed by marshals.
