Loton Park Hill Climb
27 May 2017 - 28 May 2017
Loton Park Alberbury Shrewsbury SY5 9AJ
In a change from recent years, the Club will visit the ever popular Loton Park event over May Bank Holiday weekend. Set within the confines of the estate’s picturesque deer park, the 1475 yards course is a great challenge for car and machine, and competitors will get two practice runs on Saturday and two timed runs towards the competition on Sunday.
The highlight for many is Saturday evening’s traditional Hog Roast organised by our loyal band of local members. With plenty of ale and on-site camping available, the event is truly one of the most social on the calendar, so come and join us for a wonderful weekend in Shropshire this May.

Our ever popular Loton Park Hill Climb moves from its traditional September date to May for 2017, so with no clash with the Goodwood Revival this year, there’s no excuse to miss this fantastic weekend round of the Club’s Speed Championship at one of the UK’s best Hill Climb venues.
The two-day format allows a full day of Practice on Saturday followed by the Timed Runs towards the competition on Sunday, so there will be plenty of opportunity to see the wonderfully eclectic line-up of Edwardian, Vintage and PVT Racing and Sports-Cars tackle the challenging hill over the weekend, as well as time to explore the Competitor Paddock to take a closer look at the incredible Pre-machinery and enjoy the onsite catering facilities too.
Loton Park is blessed with idyllic surroundings and fantastic vantage points all the way up the course. As the tarmac winds its way through the Deer park, there are benches alongside the upper half of the course from ‘Triangle’ corner upwards. Do wander up to the top and see the cars hurtling through ‘Fallow’ and ‘Museum’ – the walk is not too onerous and is a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful setting.
Advance ticket sales are now closed for this event but tickets will be available to buy on both Saturday and Sunday priced at £10.00 per day. Children under 16 go free.
TIMETABLE (approx)
Saturday: Practice begins at 9.30am and continues after the Lunch Break at 1.00pm.
Sunday: Competitive Runs begin at 9.45am and continue after the Lunch Break at 1.15pm
