The first two days of August this year saw the Club’s annual Speed Hill Climb at the wonderful Cotswold venue.
This much loved event saw 260 cars climb the venue’s short-course; practicing on the Saturday and racing against the clock on the Sunday.

The Words:
Four club members entered the event, which used the short course, missing out Ettore’s Bend. Unfortunately, Peter Kite argued with the armco in practice and bent his Morgan. Luckily Peter was OK apart from a little bruising.
Sue Darbyshire, Hannah Enticknap and Rob Pike were the other club entrants flying the flag. Hopefully, results will be available soon. Sue topped the Vintage classes on Friday when the long course was used! Hannah’s brother Ben was competing in the GN Special “Phoenix” and he set a new Vintage record on Friday.
