Save the date for the 70^th running of the whacky and wonderful of The Pomeroy Trophy! The only event with the VSCC where you will see the likes of an Edwardian competing with a Mazda MX5 – The ‘Pom’ is open to enter in any car, old or new!

This legendary event, originally conceived by Harry Bowler in 1949 and first held on 22nd March 1952, has become a symbol of the VSCC's spirit and dedication to showcasing the timeless attraction of vintage sports cars.

It is is a unique competition that tests the speed and agility to find the best ‘Touring Car’, one of the few times you will witness pre-war cars competing against their modern counterparts in a single-day event. Throughout the day, competitors will engage in various tests, including a timed slalom, straight-line acceleration challenge, and a brake test. The highlight of the event is undoubtedly the 40-minute high speed session on the renowned Grand Prix circuit in the afternoon, divided into three speed-graded groups. This isn't a race but an exercise to complete a pre-determined number of laps based on the car's age and specification.

In an era where track time has become increasingly costly, the Pomeroy Trophy offers a unique opportunity. It's a chance to put your winter upgrades to the test, experience something different, and enjoy a truly fun day out surrounded by an eclectic mix of cars and like-minded enthusiasts.
