Deggers Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Pre-war hillclimb racing at Shelsley. 12th July, 1930. One of ten rounds of the European Hill Climb Championship that year. Crowds at capacity, marshals in plus fours and white coats, and the uniformly bewoggled Boy Scouts in attendance. Hans Stuck in his 3½-Litre Austro-Daimler (number 66) makes Best Time of Day, and went on to become the 1930 Europa Bergmeister (European Hillclimb Champion).

Deggers Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 A bit of background history, how Shelsley came to be . . . along with some great footage from 1995, in this 90th Anniversary video. Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Sorry Deggers couldn’t resist. a modern view and featuring a TR so it’s slow enough to appreciate the journey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deggers Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 You must be itching for another attempt with the new engine, H. Any plans for a revisit during the '22 season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
