2020 Speed Trials Cancelled

It is with deep regret that we have had to cancel this year’s Speed Trials due to the government regulations of social distancing and the uncertainty of events later this year. We would like to thank all of you for your interest and we hope to look forward to hosting this fantastic event next year.

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.
