Each year the gates are opened to welcome an array of drivers, classic cars, and an immense adrenaline rush, as the entrants rush past in a bid to record the fastest time.

Now in its 11th year, the 2018 event promises, once again, to provide a superb day out.

A thrilling experience, stand trackside as the likes of the early Austin 7s, Bentleys and Riley machines speed by, competing in 10 varied classes representing every era of motorsport history. There’s no other feeling like it.

Although the adrenaline filled competitive hill climb absorbs much of the attention, Sunday’s classic car show is every bit as compelling.
