Friday 08 July 2016
The VSCC is again delighted to be one of the Associated Clubs for the Chateau Impney Hill Climb this weekend the 9/10 July, following the return of motorsport to the famous Worcestershire venue last year.
More than 58 years since the first speed trial was held in the grounds of the landmark hotel, last year's inaugural Chateau Impney Hill Climb celebrated the venue’s motorsport heritage, recapturing the inclusive spirit of the popular sprint events originally organised by the Hagley & District Light Car Club between 1957 and 1967.
Conitnuing the successful Associated Clubs scheme to harness the publicity around the Chateau Impney event to promote historic motorsport as a whole, the VSCC again joins other leading organisations who share a passion for celebrating Pre-1967 cars, such as the 500 Owners Association, BRM Association, Bentley Drivers Club, Bugatti Owners Club, ERA Club, Formula Junior Historic Racing Association, Hagley & District Light Car Club and the Veteran Car Club.
The Hill Climb will see no less than 200 Competitors sprint up the challenging, MSA-approved 1,000-yard course in an attempt to beat the clock.
Our Club Display will also be present within the trade village over the weekend.
Tickets can still be purchased online in advance until midnight tonight (Friday 8 July) or on the day at the gate, priced at £20 per adult (Saturday), £25 (Sunday) and £40 (Weekend), with Children Under 16 free with a paying adult.
General admission tickets allow entry to all public areas of the event including the Footman James Concours d’Elegance, the H&H auction, the Impney Paddock, all grandstands and the food and drink courts.
