Last Call for the VSCC Pre-war Sports-Cars Race at the Autumn Classic!

Thursday 25 September 2014

Calling all VSCC Sports Car Racers! Today is your very last chance to be part of the Club’s final grid of the season – the highly varied and very successful Autumn Classic, which takes place at Castle Combe in Wiltshire on Sunday 5 October.
With its 64 year history, Castle Combe Circuit has always provided tried and trusted motor sport entertainment. But in 2012, a simple idea for a 'Classic' themed meeting proved to be one of its best and with last year's event hailed as even more of a success, 2014 is shaping up to be the best yet!
With eight races the fabulous cars speak for themselves, with a mixture of the very ancient to sixties single-seaters in the shape of the popular Formula Juniors.  The 'Big Healeys' will be as competitive as ever while the crowd-pleasing 500cc Formula 3 cars return for the first time since 1955. Add in pre-66 Jaguars, historic Aston Martins and a 1950s sports car Inter-marque race and you have a full afternoon.
The whole circuit will be stepping back in time, with numerous club stands, displays and period style aplenty.
This is your very final chance to enter. As you will see from the Provisional Entry List below, we have the makings of a fantastic grid to represent the Club – but there are still a few places remaining if you would like to join!
