Less than two weeks until the start of the VSCC 2016 Speed Championship

Wednesday 20 April 2016

As we look forward to our ‘Spring Start’ Race Meeting at Silverstone this weekend, don’t forget that the start of the inaugural VSCC Speed Championship is just around the corner, with our Curborough Speed Trials on Sunday 1 May, and Wiscombe Park Hill Climb a week later, on Sunday 8 May.
The two events are firm favourites amongst Competitors and Spectators alike. Advance tickets are available for both now, with entries closing for Wiscombe this Monday 25 April – ensure you don’t miss out!
 

Curborough Speed Trials & Club Picnic – Sunday 1 May
Near Lichfield, Staffordshire WS13 8EJ
 
We again herald the start of the Club’s Speed season with our Curborough Speed Trials on May Bank Holiday weekend, which this year will host the opening round of the Club’s new MSA-registered Speed Championship. Entries are now closed and the event will again host another capacity entry of real quality, proving its continuing popularity amongst our Competitors as a relaxed day of Club motorsport.

Located in South Staffordshire near Lichfield, Curborough always attracts a superb line-up of over one hundred Pre-war Racing and Sports-Cars, with all the celebrated marques of the era accounted for, including Alvis, Austin, Bentley, Bugatti, ERA, MG, Riley and more. Aside from the action on track, many Spectators arrive in Pre-war cars so a wander around the car park is a relaxing way to while away the day whilst we also encourage everyone to bring their picnics as is the annual tradition. 
 
Entries are now closed for this event.

Wicombe Park Hill Climb – Sunday 8 May
Near Honiton, Devon EX24 6JE
 
The beautiful Devon countryside plays host to round two of the 2016 VSCC Speed Championship, our first visit to a Hill Climb venue this year.  Following a brief downhill descent over the bridge into the deceptive uphill left hand Wis Corner, the course continues uphill through open parkland until The Gate, where cars disappear into woodland, through the Esses to the finish, via a couple of hairpins.  As well as Championship contenders, the event is open to all eligible VSCC Competitors with the Club’s full class structure accommodated.
 
We are also likely to see a number of F3 (500) Racing Cars and 1950s Sports/Racing Cars join our Invited Post-war classes since, as in previous years, our friends at the 500 Owners Association will be holding their own meeting on the day preceding; once again, VSCC members are invited to enter their Pre-war classes so why not make a weekend of your visit to the South-West? Visit www.500race.org for more information.
 
Entry Fee: £110 (½ Price to those Under 30 on 1 January 2016)
 
Opening date for entries: NOW           

Closing date for entries: 25 April
