The Henney's Cider / Bugatti Owners Club Classic Speed Championship is the UK's leading Speed series for the Owners / Drivers of Classic vehicles.
It originated from within the Midland Hillclimb Championship and the running of the series as a stand alone championship was taken on by the Bugatti Owners Club around 15 years ago.
Currently Saloons and Sportscars are accepted pre 1977 , and Racing cars pre 1972. This may be revised going forward to cater for cars of a slightly newer age in some additional classes.
The main Championship is scored on a handicap basis , with drivers aiming to beat their previous best times. A subsidiary series sponsored by ClassicHillclimb.com aims to reward the drivers of the fastest cars with some additional awards.
Typically the Championship attracts around 70 to 80 registered contenders each season. A Prescott 'Home venue' meeting will often have around 20 runners in each of the three classes.
