The British Spring may be a little slow in its stride this year, but on 20-21 April it will have firmly arrived as over 300 Vintage and Historic cars convene for the Vintage Sports-Car Club’s ‘Spring Start’ Race Meeting at Silverstone, marking the start of the new Vintage and Historic Racing season. As part of the new two-day format, all Sunday races will be televised live on Motors TV, with opportunities for all drivers to perform for the cameras; the meeting will surely be one of the highlights of racing year.

There is much activity in the garages of the Club’s racing membership as winter restorations near completion and pre-season fettling is underway in earnest.  Entries are starting to flood in but we would like to remind you that the official closing date for entries is nearing, so submit your entry now and ensure you don’t miss out!

Entry fees start from only £129.

Entries close on Wednesday 3 April. Any late entries may be considered for grids where numbers allow upon payment of a surcharge.

If you have any questions regarding the Event, please contact the VSCC Competition Department on 01608 644777 Ext 4 or email comps@vscc.co.uk
