Yes according to their website all adults do need a licence

Interesting that that says demo runs and (non competitive) fun runs, is my car being special to me enough of a criteria to demo run it

Mk3 booked in for a fun run

Yep that came as a surprise to me too!

Competition runs need full hillclimb licence. Fun runs require basic Motorsport UK Licence (also available on the day). Demo runs are for spectators/clubs normally, but in Covid times I think "by ticket only" so you will need to send an e-mail to Prescott to register as I suspect the event will be pre-booked ticket ONLY. The relevant Covid roadmap dates for events are 17th May and 2? June. In my experience, demo runs at Prescott are not always guaranteed due to competitors going off road and red flags closing the hill. But if you want to be part of the event book any 1 of the 3.
I took part in a fun run last week and the Prescott people are well qualified to organise the event especially as the day was observed by Motorsport UK observers and the local Orange Army are very experienced.
Hope to see you there.

Well what ever runs happens I'm just glad of the chance of going to an event and seeing some friends

If anyone feels like calling or emailing Tewkesbury council and ask them what the f*ck is going on please feel free.

Apparently there’s no demo runs.

“Confused? You will be”

, probably why I didn't get a response when i asked them what the difference was, still, looking forward to giving the car a run out and seeing some familiar faces

It looks like I will be missing this event as my Doctor advises, I am not recovering as quickly as I thought I was. I hope you all have a great event and I looking forward to seeing pictures and reading reports.

Hi David
Sorry to hear the Doctor's advice but maybe the Prescott Italia event on 30th May will appeal. I think you have an Innocenti.
Best wishes.
Cliff

Thanks Cliff I will have a look at that one

David

Sorry we won’t get to meet up David , health comes first! Later in the year maybe.

Pretty deflated about having no spectators and baffled as to why not but anyway it’s out of my hands, it was from the very start but next year will be different. Last orders for entries though for competitors and fun runs alike here, you can get four up in a Mini/MINI into the event for £30! :

Pete, do you if competition entries can bring guests?

It will depend on the final instructions however other venues during covid have allowed `pit crew' members 2 or 3 has been the norm (my wife has been my nominated pit crew for example), other clubs are allowing spectators in june,
however although it is my home club and very dear to me the new Prescott are a law unto themselves and who knows what they will come up with.

Yes i think its three ‘helpers’ per entry.

How many timed runs do competitors get ?

I'll be watching on youtube

I was going to come down originally stop nearby the night before etc but obviously that plan had to go out the window.

Thinking of getting a tv for the workshop so i can watch it while we work
