The TR Register Car Club secured discounted display passes for 24 lucky TR Register Car Club members, who all applied to be a part of this unique event by responding to our e-Newsletter. In just a few hours, the places had sold out. Not surprising given that the places not only represented a huge saving (£50 on the gate for two people down to £12 per car) but also, members were granted VIP parking in an area that included one of the best views of the circuit anywhere at Prescott Hillclimb.

Terry Smith from Cotswold Vale headed down to Didcot early on Friday morning to collect the tea urn, tables, marquee and free TR Action Magazines and brilliantly erected it all ready for the display cars to arrive on Saturday morning. This also gave him a chance to go home to Evesham and collect his TR4A to be a part of it.

On Saturday morning, Wayne Scott arrived to arrange the cars and attend to the members arriving. The tea urn was boiling, the welcome was warm and by midday, all the drivers had completed their briefing and signed on for the track cavalcade.

It was a wonderful sight as 24 TRs took to the hill during the lunch break and to keep the sizeable crowd entertained at the Prescott Historique.

The lineup represented all eras from two side screen TR3As, TR4s, 4As, 5s , 6s, 7s and even two derivatives in a Grinnall and GTR4 Dove.

A huge treat was to watch not only a huge selection of hillclimb cars from 1900 onwards but also several runs up the hill by the TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship. There was much drama as the TR7V8s of Steve Small and Alastair Flack fought it out for top honours, with Len Olds’ TR4 well in the mix also. Neil Revington caused a sea of concerned faces around the TR Register display area when he pranged the TR3 Beta towards the top of the course, causing damage to the panels along the offside. Neil was OK and after a liberal application of tank tape, both he and the car headed back out later in the afternoon.

Fastest TR of the day on the Saturday went to Alastair Flack in his TR7V8, but Len Olds in his TR4 bit back to take the win and the fastest time of the weekend on Sunday.

This is a full list of the competitors seen in action on the day.

Away from the TR action, there was lots more to entertain TR Register members, including Le Monstre. This was an American racer from the 1950s, a mad-looking 61 series Cadillac replica driven by its owner, Derek Drinkwater.

Also on eight cylinders was the final Richard Petty STP Pontiac NASCAR, which drove the hill for a demonstration run.

Kevin Nicks demonstrated the fastest shed in the world. His creation has been used to break the world land speed record for sheds three times since it was built in 2015. The motorised shed took to the Hill in warm-up for the main off-track event, the flypast.

The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight also offers a spine-tingling display, and on Saturday afternoon, their Lancaster bomber undertook three low-level fly-overs across the site, offering everyone a real treat before the afternoon action continued.

When the day was over, Andrew Racey from Cotswold Vale arrived to take the TR Register marquee and equipment away from Prescott and back eventually to Didcot. A huge thank you to everyone who helped on the day, but especially to Terry Smith and Andrew Racey for providing the transport and logistics for this event. 

Trade stand, the Bugatti Trust Museum and stunning views from the hill, all combined with our great club pitch location and some adrenaline-fuelled TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb action for the perfect day out.
