This weekend, 28th and 29th July, Shelsley Walsh will celebrate a number of anniversaries as well as feature demonstration runs from not only the Chevron GT3 but also the Mercedes W196 Streamliner, which will be doing demonstration runs on both days.The Streamliner is a recreation of the 1954 Mercedes-Benz grand prix car which used a special streamlined body in six races in 1954 and 1955. The project is the result of a long-time ambition of German-born UK-based art dealer Hermann Sommersell who turned the remains of a Mercedes 300 saloon into a stunning grand prix recreation.The Streamliner made its competition debut at the 2012 Cholmondeley Pageant of Power where its good looks and impressive performance caught the imagination of the crowd and the other car owners and drivers. The engine is a six cylinder W124/R129 type producing 260 bhp. The tubular chassis is very similar to the original grand prix chassis and all the mechanical components are from Mercedes-Benz. The car has now spent many months on exhibit at the Mercedes-Benz World Museum at Brooklands. It will be competing at Shelsley Walsh and the Pentillie Hillclimbs before its return to Cholmondeley in September.The Streamliner is driven by UK-Based American motoring journalist Ed McDonough, who has been involved in promoting the project as well as carrying out testing and development. He has a long motor racing history, including the World Sports Car Championship in the 1970s, and is the author of 14 motorsport books, as well as being the European Editor of Vintage Racecar magazine.To buy tickets or find further information, visit www.shelsley-walsh.co.ukPictured 1954 W196 Streamliner Recreation 001 at Cholmondeley earlier this year.About the Midland Automobile Club and Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill ClimbThe club was established at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham on the 11th January 1901 by a number of prominent members of the early motor industry whilst Queen Victoria was on the throne and as such is arguably the oldest motor sport club in the world.Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb is the oldest motor sport venue in the world still in continuous use. It was first used in 1905 and still uses its original layout, although there are a few close rivals.Our first speed event was held in 1901 on the edge of the rolling hills of the Cotswolds at Sun Rising Hill.The club has always been innovative. In 1932, the BBC chose Shelsley Walsh for its first ever outside broadcast. Electronic timing was first introduced at Shelsley and in 1998 the club organised the first ever classic trial on the Isle of Man.The MAC hosts rounds of the British Hill Climb Championship, The Midland Championship and The Leaders Championship, with classes for a variety of cars from road going to full on specialist hill climb cars.
