Classic Speed Events in 2015

Post by billycooper »

Other than Shelsley in July, and of course our Blyton Mk1 Weekend, what other Classic Hillclimbs / Sprints / Track days is there this year that's worth an entry ?

There's not that many historic themed speed events in the season but the ones that stand out apart from the brilliant Shelsley Nostalgia event in July are held at Prescott (Midsummer Speedfest) , Harewood host one (August I think) ditto Loton Park , Crystal Palace (http://www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/) , Boness (http://www.bonesshillclimb.org.uk/index.php), DEWS Speed Series (http://www.bjautobits.co.uk/dews-speed-series.htm) , it's worth trying your arm to enter Chumly CPOP, Aintree do two good track days per year, and Paul Matty and B.O.C organise a classic championship (http://www.classichillclimb.com/#/2015- ... 4587493886)

The Thoroughbred and Sportscar Club here in NI run a number of fantastic event throughout the year, but for me one of the best they run is the Cultra Hillclimb near Belfast. It is run in the network of private roads within the Ulster Folk Park. Well worth a visit or entry.

Saturday 13th June this year as far as I know.
