We have received an invitation to our club to our annual Race Day Air Show on Sunday October 1, 2023, I have approached the organisers if you would ike to attend we may get a club area for 10 cars, please let me know, Neil at
events@lanciamc.co.uk.
The event is a combination of veteran air show and historic car sprint. The aircraft flying display has an emphasis on racing planes, historic and classic vehicles. There’s a dramatic sprint along the grass runway for 50 invited pre-1939 cars plus displays of somewhat newer classics.
https://www.shuttleworth.org/product/wingsandwheels/ We’d be delighted to see you there for the day and can offer the following:
Pre-1939 Sprint Cars
Our Race Day has been running for many years, and gives drivers of selected pre-1939 cars the opportunity to take part in the Shuttleworth Sprint. These are untimed, non-competitive sprints up the grass runway, singly or in pairs, over 1000 metres.
It has proved very popular with owners of these vehicles, where they can unleash their cars for once in relative safety and where there is no need for a race licence.
We select these from the most appropriate pre-1939 entries. Entry to the day is free for both driver and one passenger (others pay the standard entrance fee). The National Motor Museum is bringing Sir Malcolm Campbell’s original 350hp Sunbeam Bluebird and we will have John Cobb’s record-breaking 24-litre Napier Railton from Brooklands too.
Owners who wish to enter the Sprint are requested to get in touch with Stuart Gray
stuart.gray@shuttleworth.org as soon as possible.
Pre-1980 Classic Cars
We would like to offer your club up to ten places in the Period Paddock. This will be exclusively for pre-1980 cars from your club. The cost here is just £12 per car for both driver and one passenger, representing a saving of £58. Kids under 16 go free but other adults pay the standard airshow entrance fee of £35 each.
Obviously it’s up to you which cars are chosen for the period paddock, but a variety would be preferable.
Note: all cars for Period Paddock will need to be in place at Shuttleworth by 10.30am to secure this prestigious display location.
Additional Club Classic Cars
Your other club members are, of course, most welcome to experience the fun of the Race Day Air Show, a truly unique experience in the world of historic cars and planes.
2024 will see an expansion of this event to a whole weekend, so get in early and experience our event in its original form.
I have attached details and our entry form and would ask under Section 2 you circle 'Paddock' and under Car Club Bookings mention your Club.
