I think you'll be struggling for organised sprint and hillclimb events in the North East. Harewood near Leeds or Bo'ness in the lake district are the closest venues AFAIK. Correct me if I'm wrong, if there is something in the NE I'd be interested to hear about it.
EDIT: forgot to mention Croft, they do sprints there or at least used to.

I think there's the occasional sprint at Oliver's Mount in Scarborough.


I just wanted to start a thread that people can use to mention any motoring events that they've heard about so if we're all looking for something to do on a weekend we know what's going on. There have been times when there's been a classic car show virtually on my doorstep and I haven't known anything about it until I've driven past.


Nice Caterham by the way

It's a good idea and thanks

Static displays are quite often held at Beamish. In September they have a Porsche event on Sunday 9th and a classic car day on Sunday 30th.

Assuming it doesn't blow up on the dyno tomorrow or at Croft on Monday I should be racing my Elise in the NSSCC at this meeting.

Anyone fancy convoying to Croft from Tyneside? (if reasonable weather)
