I had not visited an event at the Prescott Hill climb since 2016 so I decided it was time for another visit on August 5-6. The event, the VSCC (Vintage Sports-Car Club) speed championship round 5 ‘Vintage Prescott.’ So has the place changed over the years? Not that I could tell, it is still a lovely setting in the heart of the countryside and in the quieter moments it is possible to hear the distant sound of a steam whistle from the nearby Heritage steam railway above the sounds of the birds.

“In point 2 of a mile turn left”, said my Sat Nav. I had arrived at the Prescott Hill Climb, deep in the heart of the Cotswolds. A quick glance in my rear view mirror; oh where did they come from? An Alfa 6C and a Type 35 Bugatti are following me in. I have been following a Lamborghini Espada for a mile or so; it looks like it is going to be a good day and at last the sun is shining. Or maybe like Camelot, the sun always shines on this shrine to Bugattis.
