VSCC to Return to Prescott for Long Course Hill Climb
Friday 28 September 2018
The Vintage Sports-Car Club will make their second trip this year to the picturesque Prescott Speed Hill Climb and estate in Gotherington on Saturday 29 September for their final Round of this year’s Speed Championship, the Prescott Long Course Hill Climb.
Following the tremendous success amongst both spectators and competitors at the event in 2017, the Club are pleased to once again be running their Prescott Long Course Hill Climb as a standalone event for the second time in Club history. The Long Course at Prescott incorporates the challenging Ettore’s Bend and is regularly used by the wider motorsport community, however the VSCC still regularly compete on the original Short Course at their Prescott Weekend that takes place annually in August.
A relaxed affair with a jovial and end-of-season atmosphere in the Paddock, the Prescott Long Course Hill Climb is a demonstration of the VSCC at their social best. The breath-taking Cotswold surroundings of the track combined with timeless vintage vehicles make for some spectacular scenes that will transport you back to the glory days of these Edwardian and Vintage machines.
A capacity entry of 150 cars and their drivers will take to the track, featuring some star cars including the 1928 Grannie Special driven by Gary Clare, who is currently at the top of the Club’s Speed Championship leader board. Joining Clare on track will be some fantastic specimens of Vintage machinery including the 1936 ERA AJM1 driven by Ben Fidler, the 1934/35 Riley ERA driven by James Baxter, and the 1922 Bugatti T22 driven by Paul Tebbett.
As well as the action on track, spectators can enjoy the Bugatti Trust’s Visitor Centre and explore the incredible works of Ettore Bugatti. The VSCC will also be presenting the Awards for the day at a low-key presentation outside the Bugatti Owners’ Club House at approximately 17.15hrs.
Tickets are available on the gate at £15 for adults with under 16 year olds going for free. For more information visit www.VSCCPrescott.co.uk
