Prescott Hill Climb May 11/12th 2019

My annual invitation to Prescott charity hill climb came in today.
Any interest from FCCUK members for coming along?
Weekend of May 11th and 12th 2019.
Saturday is a road trip around the Cotswolds including lunch at the Cotswold Hub which has some truly fantastic cars and bikes on display.
Sunday is the hillclimb day.

My brother has entered his 205 GTi in the Classics at Prescott event so I will be up for that on the 12th.

If other members are going to be there then I'll drive up in the Coupe. Certainly up for a road trip.

Good to hear Iain.
Your brothers GTi should do well on the tight turns.
Let's see if there is any other interest in the coming months.

My brother tells me it's the La Vie En Bleu/La Vita Rossa & 90th Anniversary Celebration on 25th/26th May that he is entered. Sorry got the wrong weekend but if other members are going to either of them then I may come up anyway in the Coupe.

Hi Iain
Yes I went to that in 2018 and it was great - lots of lovely old and modern classic Italian and French cars.
It looks like the Rotary club charity day is quite close this time around.

The weekend of the 11th/12th allows 200 entries of classic or "interesting" cars to have a number of officially untimed runs up the hill, with the marshals volunteering and all monies raised for charity.

I have done it a couple of times in the Coupe and previously in a vintage rally prepared 1964 Mini Cooper. The Cooper was certainly a lot easier to drive up hard!

If we got a group together, they would allow us to park together in the famous paddock area.

Good evening - that sounds a very interesting event. Would you be so kind as to let me know the cost of entering, what the process is to take part? Thank you Graeme

Hi Graeme

There are several options.
From memory for £55.00 you get to park in the paddock on the Sunday with all passengers, have a programme and have two separate runs up the hill.
Alternatively, for £20 on the Saturday, you can partake in the Cotswold scenic drive which finishes at the Cotswold Hub.
The other option is just to park in the spectator/public car park on the Sunday, where I believe entry is £15 per car.
If you pm me your e-mail, I can e-mail you the entry details.

Hello,
I am interested in coming along. Have to say the coupe I am running about in looks rough, but it would be fun on the hill. Happy to come along on Sunday to the paddock and potter up the hill a couple of times.


Do we need to go ahead and buy the tickets ourselves or is a group purchase happening?

If this is going ahead count me in.

Many thanks
Doug

Hi Doug,

Not too much interest to date from the forum unfortunately, but no matter, I have always found it good fun!
I should not worry too much about how your looks, mine has looked pretty rough over the years, but hopefully, it is gradually getting tidier.
If you want to enter, I can arrange to forward the entry details if you pm me your e-mail address?
Regards

Mark
