VSCC New Year Driving Tests Entries Closing Soon!
Monday 19 January 2015
The VSCC will again receive a warm welcome from our friends at Brooklands Museum for our annual New Year Driving Tests at the home of British Motorsport and Aviation on Sunday 1 February. Entries close soon for this ever-popular event so don’t delay and submit yours now.
Preceded by the traditional Brooklands Film Night (see details below), Clerk of the Course Kevin Lee has devised tests to reward accuracy whilst providing a fun and interesting challenge for all of those taking part, with Tests scattered across the site, including the famous ‘Test Hill’.
This event is a great social occasion for Competitors, Spectators and Marshals alike, so why not come along and join us at this historic venue, a fitting backdrop to a day of Vintage motorsport.
VSCC Driving Tests are a terrific introduction to Pre-war motor sport, demanding good car control at low speeds whilst being one of the cheapest disciplines. As such, they often attract a good number of younger competitors (minimum Competitor Age is 16, no Driving Licence required – restricted to Touring Saloon Cars under 1400cc). Read more about Driving Tests here.
Entry Fee: £50 (½ Price for those under 30 years on 1 January 2015)
The closing deadline for the event is fast-approaching on Wednesday 21 January so you still have a chance to submit your entry but don’t delay.
Minimum Competitor Age: 16 years old, restricted to touring saloon cars under 1400cc
Marshals: Please volunteer to the Competition Department
