The first entries for the Centenary Celebrations of Shelsley Walsh have already arrived.

August 19, 20, 21 will be the focus of attention of the 100th year of Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb in Worcestershire. It is now the oldest unchanged motorsport venue in the world, continuing to draw spectacular cars, drivers and crowds as the historic hill enters into its next century.

The three day meeting will encompass practice on the Friday with a round of the British Hill Climb Championship on the Saturday before the invitational event on the Sunday (list below).

With Big Screen TV Coverage in the paddock, the range of cars already confirmed, the number of former Hill Climb Champions and the cream of the quickest Hill Climb cars of the 21st Century, the event is already attracting pre-ticket sales from enthusiasts. The Midland Automobile Club is also in deep discussions with some celebrity drivers too.

The event is going to be the biggest Shelsley Walsh meeting ever.
