Wiscombe Park Hillclimb
Probably the best three events at Wiscombe, (photos from 2016)
Vintage Sports-Car Club ~ 7th May, 2017
The scenic beauty of Wiscombe Park provides a superb backdrop for the most emotive meeting of the season. The sight, sound and smell of vintage racing cars gracing the south Devon parkland takes one to a past era but that does not mean the competition is any less relaxed. In fact this is usually one of the most popular meetings of the season with spectators. Enjoy this unique and unrivalled event, which forms a round of the VSCC's prestigious new MSA-registered Speed Championship.
Torbay Motor Club ~ 13th May, 2017
The class structure of this meeting encompasses all the usual car divisions, from road-going to racers as well as a comprehensive range of motorcyles including solos and sidecars etc.
MG Car Club, South West Centre ~ 9th September, 2017
Always an enjoyable event with a wide selection of interesting and historic M.G.s with a number of similar marques in support. Add in an array of modern classics and kitcars and you have the recipe for a tantalising day of hillclimbing which usually features a few single-seater racing cars in addition to the roadgoing and modifed classes featuring saloons and sports cars. A superb day of motorsport.

Re: Wiscombe Park Hillclimb
Overall, it was a good day & good selection of cars, it's a real shame the weather turned so bad - made the right decision to leave at lunchtime.colintf wrote:Great day yesterday despite rain coming in for the timed runs,

Made it down to Bodmin Airfield today for the start of the Cornish Riviera Run, another good turn out of 'F' & 'TF's'. Found a nice little spot to take some photo's then tried to 'leap frog' ahead to get to Fraddon before the cars arrived, but once again the weather turned really bad so had to cut my losses and went home.
