Shelsley Walsh Classic
Just a week before Thrill on the Hill, a couple of rather special cars warming up the track for us.
The most impressive classic was the 1930s Auto Union Type C driven by Hans Joachim Stuck following in his fathers footsteps 80 years on. The sound of the 16 cylinder engine was incredible! The other was a 1934 Maserati 8CM which again sounded glorious.
The most impressive modern car was a home built special....a 1.7 litre engine turbo charged......by a helicopter gas turbine so absolutely no turbo lag! It broke the class record and very close to the course record too on its second practice run.

You've excelled yourself there Jays with those pics - superb! Well if TOTH isn't going to be on next year then this really is worth making the effort to go to.

Lovely shots. I particularly like the car coming up the hill - very atmospheric and a great catch.

The most amazing photos. On first glance I thought they were historical shots. All beautiful.

A great set of photos John thank you.
I can almost hear that V16 and smell the hot oil.

Great pictures. Is the car with twin rear tyres the home built one?

Wonderful photos Jay.
Those who were there were very privileged to see history recreated.
The shelsley vintage weekend is always very good but this year's will remain vivid in the memory for a very long time.
