VSCC Race Championships to be decided at Mallory Park Season Finale

Monday 19 September 2016

The latest standings of the Club’s two Race Championships have been announced ahead of our Race Season finale at Mallory Park in Leicestershire this weekend on Saturday 24 September.
Following four fantastic rounds so far this year at Silverstone, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park and Pembrey last month, focus now falls on Mallory, the last chance for our Competitors to accrue points towards the two prestigious awards.
 
The day boasts exciting 11-Race programme, headlined by the usual Trophy Races for Vintage, PVT and Historic Racing and Sports-Cars, as well as the Club’s annual Edwardian Handicap Race, as we honour British Racing hero, Bob Gerard (CLICK HERE for more information on the day’s programme).
 

The Motor Sport Brooklands Memorial Trophy



The Motor Sport Brooklands Memorial Trophy was first presented in 1950 having been procured by the Motor Sport Brooklands Memorial Fund to be awarded for the “best aggregate performance in the BARC Goodwood Members’ Meetings” to be contested “annually by amateur drivers in Brooklands-style races”. The first winner of the Trophy was  J C C Mayers with a Lester-MG. Subsequent winners in the early years included Mike Hawthorn, George Abecassis, Innes Ireland and Mike Taylor.
 
With the imposition of a three-litre limit and ultimate demise of the Goodwood Circuit, the trophy passed to the Vintage Sports-Car Club in 1966. The VSCC limited eligibility to Vintage and PVT cars in order to maintain the original intentions of commemorating Brooklands type racing.
 
All cars entered must have a valid VSCC Eligibility document for car.  There is no need to register; cars entered into VSCC races will automatically be included in the running for the trophy.
