    OK - I'll admit from the start that this might be a silly question but here goes...........

    I got a free weekend from my work next weekend, and wouldn't mind going to the Fintry Hillclimb, but is this part of the cooper challange??? The only website I could find about a cooper challange mentioned nothing about races at Knockhill or Fintry. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong website???

    Also is this the Fintry about 5 miles north of Turrif, or is it the one in Stirling??
    Has anyone got prices for tickets, parking etc etc?

    Ta guys

    Hi

    As far as I know, the Cooper Challenge is going to be there.
    And it's FINTRAY in Aberdeenshire, not FINTRY in Stirlingshire. Different spelling. (Shame, as I live in Fintry......!)

    Parking is a pain at Fintray - its in a big steep field, but usually when the cooper challenge cars are there they have a Mini Car Parking section (shame you dont have a mini though
