MATTERS OF THE MOMENT

Where to Go Next Weekend 2/3 August

Since 1938, when the Vintage and Sports Car Club held their first competitive hillclimb at Prescott, there has been no better a location, possibly in the world, for the annual family picnic, other than Prescott Speed Hillclimb. Enthusiasts of all ages will gather here over the weekend 2/3 August, not just to watch the action, but to wander and admire a paddock and car park packed with polished cars that mirror motoring history, from Bugatti to Austin Seven. Put simply, this is the ultimate gathering for anybody with a passion, or nay, just a passing interest in old cars. Retro-Speed Magazine looks forward to meeting up with old friends, and who knows, maybe even enjoying the odd glass or two of champagne. Well, for once, I won't be driving.







ROGER ALBERT CLARK RALLY 2025






 Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025. 

Retro-Speed Magazine spent four days in the heart of the Goodwood paddock surrounded by the sight and sound of impatient race and rally cars, each being driven in turn up one of the most famous hill climbs in the world. The country meanwhile was in the grip of another heatwave, with temperatures hitting thirty degrees.




Le Mans Classic 2025 had it all. Two days of scorching sunshine, followed by a Sunday of heavy rain that tested drivers and spectators alike. Our favourite racer combo? The team of Martin Halusa and Alex Ames in the pre-war Alfa Romeo. Carrying a 60-second deficit into their final race, they ignored the dreadful conditions, crossing the line far enough ahead to take the race, and Plateau 1 Category outright. 

As ever, we enjoyed reporting Le Mans Classic 2025. Next year Peter Auto and ACO are ringing the changes, with a fresh approach. Expect to see more modern race-cars in 2026. It' going to be faster, noisier, and bigger than ever!
