Welcome

With the demise of the One Tree Hillclimb in 2002, motor sport in the local area was in a decline. In August 2006, a small group of local motoring enthusiasts met and resolved to "Re-climb the Hill", and so the Ararat Car Club Inc. was formed.

The Ararat Car Club is now incorporated, formally affiliated with CAMS, and has successfully sought permission from the Rural City of Ararat Council to run closed road competition on the One Tree Hill Road, and is on the way to getting the Hillclimb sanctioned as a CAMS competition venue.

The club's Executive Committee currently comprises of;

We have a growing membership and with great assistance from others. We continue to received some great community support from groups such as CFA, SES, Rotary, ARBA and Ararat Rural City Council

Other car clubs have also given their support including The Ballarat Light Car Club, Gippsland Car Club, Maffra and District Car Club and MG Car Club and many more.

2011 Event News

The Fourth Annual running of the One Tree Hillclimb was held on the weekend. 51 entries meant that everyone would get a lot of runs over the weekend. Electrical storm overnight knocked out the timing computer which took 2 hours to repair and the Ambulance was held up due to road closures from an accident so racing didn't commence until midday. It rained all day with some small spots of fine weather. a tough job for all officials and without them it would not go ahead. Thank You.

Look forward to seeing everyone at our next hillclimb in June2/3 2012
