CLASSIC TYRES
range of classic tyres, and offering a tyre-fitting service at a race track near you. Where else can you get your wire wheels balanced? Added to that there’s often a Concours d’Elegance displaying some of the most beautiful pre-war cars, and an AutoSolo driving test, where you can get close to the cars in action.
A lot of these vintage cars will drive to the race meeting, compete in the races, and then drive home again afterwards. The same car may compete in other speed events the VSCC organises, such as hill climbs and sprints, as well as other events that are not simply about speed. The VSCC also hosts rallies, both competitive and as countryside tours, plus driving tests and off-road vintage trials, and the VSCC clubhouse holds one of the most complete libraries about historic cars.
What other racing club is so pro-active in the furtherment of motorsport that it offers half-price race entries to enthusiasts under 30 years old, who are borrowing grandad’s car to get out on the track, and learn about the history of our machinery, how to use it, and – most importantly – how to fix it? A VSCC race meeting can be the antidote to the internet. Get your children off Grand Theft Auto and get them into the real world and on the tarmac at Silverstone.
The VSCC race meetings of 2021 are not only for pre-war cars. They also feature occasional grids from Formula 500 F3 singleseaters, pre-1961 racing cars, Edwardian cars, Fifties Sports Car Racing Club, Formula Junior, Historic Grand Prix Cars Association, Classic Ferrari, Historic Racing Drivers Club, Morgan Challenge – and this year Longstone Tyres plans to sponsor the first Light Car and Cycle Car race this century.
