This Weekend's Herefordshire Trial

Friday 16 March 2018

A full entry of 110 Pre-war cars will compete at the Vintage Sports-Car Club’s Herefordshire Trial, the latest in the Trials season, which will be run over this coming weekend, 17 / 18 March.
After the weather induced cancellation of the John Harris Trial earlier this month, the Club’s trialling fraternity are extra keen to get out onto the hills around the stunningly historic How Caple Court headquarters. Fourteen hills will challenge Competitors over the two days all testing their mettle. The “oldest” car will be the 1903 Mercedes that Ben Collings pilots so effectively, whilst the “youngest” car celebrating its 80th birthday this year, will be Dr Jonathan Rose’s Allard two-seater.

Clerk of the Course Mark Garfitt and his team deserve special thanks for their valiant efforts in organising the Trial despite the recent challenging weather conditions.

The Club’s next event is the Scottish Trial based in Coulter near Biggar on 14 April, swiftly followed by the opening round of Formula Vintage being held at Silverstone on 21 / 22 April, which marks the start of the Race Season for the VSCC, with supporting events and entertainment also being held off track.
