Vintage cars will be on the track
A vintage hill climb event will take place on the weekend of May 27-28 at Loton Park near Shrewsbury.
Moving from its traditional September date, there will be over 150 pre-war and historic racing and sports-cars taking part in the Vintage Sports-Car Club’s ever-popular annual weekend which marks the 2017 Speed Championship.
The 1,475 yards course is a test for car and driver, with each competitor getting two practice runs on Saturday and two timed runs towards the competition on Sunday.
A whole host of celebrated manufacturers will be represented, with examples from the likes of Austin, Riley, Lagonda, Talbot and Wolseley; from pre-1918 Edwardians to famed pre-1961 racers, 60 years of motoring history will be on show.
Loton Park has some of the best spectator vantage points amongst all hill climbs around the UK and, as at all VSCC events, there is open access to the competitor paddock, where spectators can get up close to the competing machinery and their drivers. There will also be trade stands and autojumble to explore and catering facilities available throughout the weekend.
Track action begins at approximately 9.30am on both days, with a lunch break at 1pm and the day will conclude at 6pm.
Discount advance tickets are now available via the VSCC website (www.vscc.co.uk), or will be available on the gate and children under 16 go free.
