90th Anniversary Celebrations

By Sunday, 4 August, the weekend at Prescott had drawn to a close, and members made their way to Stratford Racecourse, where they settled in, fettled their cars, and pitched their tents in the heart of the action, ready for the exciting week ahead.

The week that followed was nothing short of spectacular. Over 600 participants, including Marshals, drivers, and navigators, took part in over a dozen events put on by the Club. The varied programme featured everything from a pop-up Hill Climb at the former home of the Chateau Impney Hill Climb, to tours, gymkhanas, concours d'elegance, rallies, and driving tests. Each day at Stratford showcased a different event, often with an evening activity to follow. Highlights included a Teach-In Rally night, pub quiz, hog roast, film show, cricket match, and even a Beer Festival, kindly organised by the Frazer Nash Car Club.

The celebrations culminated in a Members’ Gala Day, featuring a collaboration with CycleKarts GB, a Q&A session with our new Club charity partner, Spinal Track, and a display organised by younger Club members, providing insights into getting involved in VSCC events. The Club also welcomed the participation of other car clubs, including the Riley Register and Riley Heritage Archive Trust, alongside StarterMotor, who offered attendees a chance to experience vintage cars firsthand.

The VSCC is delighted to report that the week ran smoothly, with all elements coming together to create a 90th Anniversary Celebration that will be long remembered. The Club is deeply grateful for the support and kind words from everyone who attended, and we believe this week truly showcased both the competitive spirit and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that define the VSCC.

As we celebrate 90 years of supporting the historic motorsport community, we recognise that none of this would have been possible without our dedicated members. If you’re passionate about historic motorsport and want to be part of our ongoing journey, we invite you to join the VSCC and help us continue to share our love for vintage cars with the wider community.
