Club Motul Hill Climb.

Club Motul are throwing an event which we hope might be of interest at Shelsley Walsh, Worcester WR6 6RP, 23rd September 2023..

Motul are giving petrol heads the chance to take their car up the oldest motorsport venue in the world still to run events on the original course on Saturday 23rd September 2023. Each driver will get 4-6 runs up the hill spaced throughout the day with passenger and spectator passes sold separately. They will also be giving drivers a free ‘Start Line Photo’ to take away with them from the day and a free commemorative sticker of the 2023 Club Motul Hill Climb.

Due to this being a Club Motul event, we hope car clubs to be the heart of the day. With that in mind, we believe this could become a chance for car clubs to use Shelsley Walsh as a ‘club meet’. Club members can bring their car to the hill and park in dedicated club areas- we will even muck in to help put up your beach flags! You won’t need a driver pass to park up, just a spectator pass which can be purchased through the Club Motul website. There will also be a raffle and prize giving ceremony at the end of the day as well as a selection of brand new Motul apparel and accessories on sale!

The Club Motul discount code for VOC members can be applied to the ticket price at the checkout.
