Our visit to the VSCC
Our visit to the VSCC Prescott hillclimb meeting in September 2022 is the subject of this video. I'd been hoping to visit this VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club) meeting all year, and fortunately the weather gods were on our side as we trundled over to the Prescott hillclimb venue in leafy Gloucestershire.
A mouthwatering array of vintage and post-vintage cars were in attendance, with some interesting classic cars to also be found over in the public car parking area at Prescott, long-term home to the Bugatti Owner's Club.
Cars competing for VSCC hill climb honours at this meeting including a fantastic quartet of ERA single seat racing cars (including the famous ERA R4D), Bugattis, a varied mix of Rileys, Frazer Nashes, Austin 7s, Edwardian-era cars, and many one-off "specials" too, most of which have competed in hillclimbs and similar speed events for years, decades even. Just walking around in the paddock area felt like a real privilege in itself, surrounded by all manner of wonderful vintage and classic cars warming engines and being prep'd for their runs, enveloped by the smell of Castrol R and cooking bacon.
After having a good look around the paddock, we headed over to the hill course itself and stationed ourselves in different positions throughout the day to capture the cars as they raced by from different angles. To see some of the larger-engined cars in particular being hurried through the Prescott hillclimb's bends was a proper treat for the eyes and ears. I think watching historic racing cars tackle a hillclimb is even more entertaining than watching circuit racing in many cases.
Our walk around the car parks didn't prove to be time wasted either as there were some great cars - vintage and classic - to be found, many of which have also made it into this upload. In all, 364 separate clips - each edited and tweaked - went into this upload.
Likes, comments and subs welcomed as always, please take a look around the rest of the channel before you leave entirely, footage from previous VSCC events in addition to a great deal of other classic car content can be found - including other shows featuring classic cars, motoring museums, garage tinkerings, barn finds and more.
