Historic Racing in Wales
Hello historic racers and fellow racing enthusiasts,
it seems as my wife and me will be passing our summer holidays in Wales this year. Is there anything motorsports-related, preferably historic, to visit or see during July 28th - August 11th, either in Wales or on the way there from Dover? Although we will be there chiefly for hiking, I might persuade my wife to visit a race meeting or the odd museum or two. Unfortunately, there is no question of making our holidays coincide with the the Goodwood Revival. Best wishes NPP P.S.: A totally unrelated question - what is the inverted camel icon meant to signify? |

Sat/Sun 28/29 July is the Classic Meeting at Silverstone. One not to be missed. It is organised by the HSCC so there should be more details on their website. An even greater variety of cars than the Revival meeting and there is racing on both days.

NPP
Where abouts in Wales are you going? Are you interested in rallying? A round of the British Historic Rally Championship will be on the Epynt ranges near Brecon (mid Wales) on Sunday 5 August (the Harry Flatters Rally). Let me know if you want more details. |

Or if you fancy seeing an incredible collection of vintage & pre-war cars (in action and in the spectators' car park) there's the Vintage Sports-Car Club's hill climb at Prescott (near Cheltenham) on 4th & 5th August.

Ref the Harry Flatters Rally; the event website will be at www.breconmotorclub.co.uk
It will run all day on Sunday on the Epynt ranges, about 10 miles west of Brecon. The rally is based at the theatre in Brecon and will start at around 9am and run all day. Spectators will be permitted and the charge will probably be about £5 per car. The historic field will run alongside an event for modern cars. Beware - even in the summer, the weather on Epynt can be cold and windy, but its a great place for asphalt rallying and there will be action all day long. Spectator access is easy, but you can walk a fair distance to watch at different locations. |
