08 Aug 2017|2,032 views
The Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb will be celebrating 70 years of the British Hill Climb Championship with past champions and their cars this weekend in the U.K. The Championship Challenge takes place on 12th and 13th August, with a very special weekend of four Top 12 run-offs, two on each day. This will be a first for Shelsley Walsh.
To celebrate the 70th anniversary, 14 British Hill Climb Champions - both past and present - will be in attendance over the weekend. These include 1977 champion Alister Douglas-Osborn, current six-time champion Scott Moran, and current championship leader Trevor Willis. There will be 13 championship winning cars present, ranging from the Cooper to the Gould. Not all of them will able to run but will either be on display or form part of the parades.
On Sunday, there will be a photo shoot in the main paddock of all the championship-winning cars with the past champions, including the four manufacturers who built the cars dating back to 1981. Saturday night will see a ticketed party hosted by the British Automobile Racing Club - the organiser of the British Hill Climb Championship - with music, food and a bar. This will be a very special weekend of hill climbing at the world's oldest motorsport venue still on its original course, so all the drivers will have driven in exactly the same wheel tracks regardless of the year they competed.
