The Speed Trials starts early. As a competitor i turn up around 7am as there is lots to do before we get going; signing on, fitting timing strut, etc.
If you are a competitor with a trailer then please do turn up early. You need to get unloaded and your car into its rightful place, and then your tow car and trailer must be left up the end of Madeira Drive in the car park, sealed off until the end of the day. As you can imagine, 50 people doing this makes for a complete shambles, hence turning up early!
Officially practice starts at 9am and is in no particular order (unlike the timed runs that go in class order) but the public can get through the gates from about 8am. Before I used to compete I preferred turning up early to spectate as you can walk the paddock while its relatively deserted and see all the amazing cars and bikes. Its starts to fill in earnest from about 11am. Vague running times for the day go like this:
7.30am | Signing on | |
9am | Practice | |
11.30am | 1st Timed Runs | |
1pm - 1.50pm | Lunch Break | |
2pm | Timed Runs continue | |
6pm | Finish |
Tickets You cannot buy tickets for the Speed Trials in advance, but you'll be fine to turn up on the day. We've never turned anyone down! |

“The Voice” & His Vehicles
Frank Sinatra was called “The Voice” from early in his career. He was heard on his first recording with the Harry James Band singing “All Or Nothing At All” which sold about 8,000 copies that year, later to sell millions as he became better known. As he became famous with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, we have few hints on his growing interest in classy cars. He and his wife Nancy…

Twenty-thirteen has been an eventful year for the automotive world. We've seen birthdays: The iconic Porsche 911 hit 50, and Aston Martin has made it to 100.
Many interesting cars have been released, from the nippy Ford Fiesta ST, through the breathtaking Jaguar F Type range, right through to the next generation of hypercars. Mclaren, Ferrari and Porsche have proven that a hybrid is no longer the exclusive preserve of the eco-hatchbacks, whilst setting blisteringly fast Nurburgring…
