This Saturday 28th March, Prescott roars back into life with our first event of the season. It is time for drivers to dust off the cobwebs and test out their new set-ups or cars in preparation for a packed season across the hillclimbing scene in the UK.
Discounted tickets are available till Friday at 17:00, and will only be available on the gate during the event afterwards. Free parking, paddock access and amazing views come as standard!
Who and what to look out for…
From the British Hillclimb Championship top ten we have Alex Summers testing out a brand new DJ Wildfire before the car is shipped off to America. David Uren in his Gould GR55B and Will Hall in the GR59J. The championship went to the penultimate round in 2025, could it go all the way to the end this year?
Debuting at Rallye Prescott, the fantastic Audi TT of Eynon Price has received a lot of attention over the winter in hopes of going for wins in Class F and in the British Tin Top Challenge.
The fabulous Fiat 695SS driven by owner Leigh Carter who sponsors our FASSI Championship and always puts on a show. Defending champion David Fripp returns in hopes of retaining his crown.
Winners from our New Barn Championship Mike Brakes, expert of the year, in his Ford Fiesta and Aaron Bland, young driver of the year, in an Abarth 124, are also testing with us this Saturday.
We are also joined by a small portion of non-competitive entries. Ranging from the loved Mazda MX5's to the cult followed Volvo 850 they will be taking to the hill untimed, enjoying the hill with passengers too along for the ride. If you would like to take your own car up the famous Prescott Speed Hill Climb, take a look at our events for our opportunities.
