Heritage

Speed trials were the earliest form of British Motorsport competition. While continental Europe was able to use the vast network of open roads for competition driving, British Edwardian drivers were restricted to private estates, where the comparatively short distances of the roads led to the establishment of speed trials, or reliability trials as they were sometimes known.

See the history

Vintage Speed Trials aim to revive the fortunes of the authentic venues used for pre-war racing and speed trials. Many are in beautiful parkland and historic locations that provide an ideal setting for our atmospheric events.
