2026 September Sprint Aintree LMC

After a drizzly first practice the skies cleared and the track dried in plenty of time for the Competition Runs. With 38 new driver/car combinations there was a flurry of Personal Bests (PBs) established and then broken whilst 28 established PBs were also broken - surprisingly no class records were ...

Harewood 's Classic & Vintage meeting 23rd August

A brilliant day of hillclimbing under blue skies at Yorkshire's premier hillclimb. 5 Class records were broken, Personal Bests reset and plenty of sideways motoring enjoyed by a large crowd.

Re: Choosing a single seater

I would also consider buying a Formul Ford 1600. It is a competitive class and the cars do nor depreciate as they get older.

As for the bike engined classes I would suggest a Force PC if you can find one. Equally at home in 1100, 1600 and the 2 litre forced induction class.

Re: Scammonden dam 26th July cancelled.

I passed by Scammy Dam on Sunday en route to Harewood. It looked scorched and might possibly done as a precaution to prevent another moorland fire.

Channel Island bounce

After a disasterous engine failure at Harewood Tom New had a race against time to install the spare engine into Wallace Menzies' Gould. Somehow when the car arrived in the far flung Channel Islands it was immediately on the pace. Two wins for Menzies at Bouley Bay started to close the gap to the top ...

Barbon Manor 11th July 2026

Barbon Manor was bathed in sunshine when I arrived and after a swift recce round the paddock, I headed up the hill to my vantage point overlooking the finish. After a single practice run we were ready for a blistering hot day of class records and Personal Bests (PBs).
Edon Taylor progressed from ...

Re: Using a 2wd pickup truck

I understand "commercial vehicles" are not allowed in Speed Events (hillclimbs & Sprints).

I have seen Land Rovers competing in Rally Car classes but they have been fully enclosed versions.

Re: Bo'ness event

John, you are correct, the Bo'ness event is a Classic & Historic event. Your Jedi is too young to enter.

Re: Bo'ness event

John, the Bo'ness event is organised by a small group of enthusiasts. They might not be in "spectator mode" at present. Don't give up on them!

Were you just going to spectate or were you considering competing?
