For those not aware of Chateau Impney’s motoring association, it was a Sprint venue in the late 1950s and has been used as a service point on many notable Rallies in history. It has recently been purchased by the Spollon family, a name synonymous in the VSCC. The weekend is a very special opportunity to visit the historic and newly re-opened landmark, in advance of a return of motorsport to the venue with the highly anticipated Chateau Impney Hill Climb on 11/12 July; visit www.chateauimpneyhillclimb.com for more information.
 
With its close proximity to the motorway network (Chateau Impney is minutes from the M5 and M42, south of Birmingham) the venue will be popular with Club Members so we hope you will give your full support to the weekend.
