VSCC Driving Tests - THIS SUNDAY

2012-01-24T19:16:18Z

The VSCC driving tests always provide excellent entertainment as well as bringing competitive motor sport back to Brooklands.

It’s well worth a visit on Sunday to see the vintage machinery being put through its paces.

Don’t forget to post a link to your photos as well !

What is this vehicle?

2012-01-02T13:57:08Z

Can anyone help to identify this vehicle? I photographed it at the New Year’s Day Gathering. It appears to be ex-military and I can see from a plaque on the dash that it has an association with the Citroen Specials Club. The emblem on the nose and steering wheel says “RFH”, but Google is not producing a relevant result.

Thank you.

Autumn Motor Sport Day and Bill Boddy Tribute

2011-09-12T11:43:31Z

We got our wires a bit crossed in the latest Brooklands Bulletin over the event on 15th October

So to clarify

1st October - A Tribute to Bill Boddy in conjunction with Motorsport magazine, VSCC and other groups that WB had associations with and will feature a recreation Brooklands start on the Finnishing Straight

15th October - Autumn Motor Sport Day - a celebration of motor sport held in conjunction with Phil Ward of Auto Itlalia and will feature runs on the Mercedes track as well as up the Test Hill.

We’re sorry for any confusion caused.

Women in Aviation - this weekend

2011-08-17T09:53:23Z

The Museum has organised an event to celebrate 100 years since Hilda Hewlett became the first British woman to obtain a pilots licence. She later went on to set up a flying school at Brooklands as well.

The weekend will feature talks on aviation, tours of the Museum, navigation and meterology workshops, engine runs, careers in aviation and much more.

Normal entrance applies and of course it is free to Brooklands Members.
