Two technicians, a full tool wall and forty-one cars through the tent in a single Saturday of amateur hill climbing.
The hill climb above Nablus is not a professional event. It is forty or so local drivers, a closed section of mountain road, a stopwatch and a great deal of argument about tyre pressures. We sponsored the service tent, which turned out to be the busiest structure on the hill.
Two of our technicians worked the whole day for free: brake bleeds, pad swaps, an alternator, three punctures and one clutch that was never going to survive the afternoon. Forty-one cars came through, and thirty-eight of them finished their runs.
We also brought the corner-weight scales, which nobody expected to be the attraction of the day. Half the field had never seen their car measured; two of them found a suspension fault they had been driving on for months.
The organisers have asked us back for the autumn round, and we have said yes on one condition: we bring an apprentice on each shift. There is no classroom that teaches what a Saturday in that tent teaches.
