The Friendly Face of Historic Motorsport
Welcome to the VSCC! We are a vibrant, inclusive community where the love for historic motoring thrives. The VSCC truly is the friendly face of historic motorsport, here to welcome anyone who enjoys cars of all kinds. You don’t need to be a vintage car expert – if you have a passion for old cars or just a curiosity about classic cars and engines, you’ll fit right in. Our members range from seasoned racers to families and first-time spectators, all coming together to share the fun and excitement of vintage and historic cars.
How to Get Involved - Spectate at Our Events
The simplest way to experience the VSCC is to come along as a spectator and enjoy a day of vintage motorsport. We host events all over the country, from famous circuits to charming hill climb venues. Grab a seat in the grandstand or bring a picnic blanket – either way, you’ll be treated to an unforgettable show of classic cars in full flight. Our Race Meetings at Silverstone, Donington Park, Cadwell Park, and Mallory Park deliver wheel-to-wheel excitement on track, while our Speed Events (hill climbs and sprints) offer the thrill of watching cars sprint up hills and around twists with raw power. Every event has a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, so feel free to bring the kids or a group of friends along for the fun.

Become a Marshal – Join the Action Up Close
Want to be more than just a spectator? Become a VSCC Marshal and get even closer to the action! Marshals are not only the orange-clad heroes you see trackside, but volunteering as one is also one of the most rewarding ways to be part of motorsport. No experience is necessary – we welcome anyone with enthusiasm, and we’ll provide guidance and training. As a marshal, you could find yourself waving flags, helping line up cars, or ensuring safety on the course. You’ll feel the rush of cars zooming past just a few yards away, and you’ll be an essential part of making the event happen.
Marshalling with the VSCC isn’t just exciting – it’s incredibly social and fun too. You’ll join a tight-knit team of volunteers who share laughs, stories, and a passion for cars. Many of our marshals come back event after event, forming lasting friendships along the way.
Plus, the Club takes good care of its volunteers: expect plenty of thanks, free prize draws, and even an annual Marshals’ Dinner to celebrate your efforts! It’s a fantastic way for younger fans and newcomers to jump right in, learn the ropes of historic racing, and feel like a true insider.
If you’re interested, we’ll help you get started – just reach out or sign up on our website’s marshalling page, and we’ll see you trackside!
Experience the Thrill of Vintage Motorsport Up Close
Nothing beats the sights, sounds, and sheer excitement of a VSCC event. Whether it is the drama of wheel-to-wheel racing, the raw power of a hill climb, the precision of a driving test, or the mud-slinging challenge of a trial, there is always something thrilling to watch. Picture a pack of pre-war machines roaring past on track, a determined driver coaxing their car up a near-impossible trial section, or a hill climber pushing their machine to the absolute limit against the clock.
The air is thick with the scent of oil, exhaust, and anticipation, as engines from another era spring to life. As a spectator, you get unbelievably close to the action. Our event paddocks are always open, so you can walk right up to the cars, watch drivers and mechanics make last-minute adjustments, and chat about the unique challenge of competing in these historic machines. Whether it is on tarmac, gravel, or grass, every VSCC event is an immersive journey into the golden age of motorsport - one you simply will not find anywhere else.
A Passionate and Welcoming Community for All Ages
The enthusiasm at VSCC events is contagious. You’ll find car lovers of every generation mingling in the paddock – from youthful newcomers to veteran drivers. It’s not just an older crowd; the Club has worked hard to attract a new wave of young enthusiasts, ensuring the spirit of vintage motorsport lives on. We pride ourselves on being friendly and approachable, so feel free to strike up a conversation. Our members are always happy to chat about their unusual and historic cars with any passerby, making every event feel like a casual car show and social gathering rolled into one.
Preserving History with an Eye on the Future
The VSCC is passionate about keeping automotive history alive – and making sure we do it responsibly. We cherish our cars and want to enjoy them for generations to come, so sustainability is a key part of our mission. The Club has launched initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, including trials of sustainable fuels at our events. In fact, the VSCC’s efforts were recognized when it won Motorsport UK’s Sustainable Club of the Year award in 2022. By blending a love of old machines with modern thinking, we’re ensuring that historic motorsport can continue in a way that respects our future. It’s about preserving the past and caring for tomorrow.
