Prescott
Hillclimb Details
​​
Prescott held its inaugural hillclimb in 1938 and has hosted rounds of the British Hillclimb Championship since the championship’s inception in 1947. It is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque motor sport venues in the world, set in nearly 70 acres of beautiful Cotswold countryside. Prescott is not only a great venue for spectators, but it is also technically challenging for competitors, with the course including short straights, fast and slow corners, and a very tight hairpin.
Course length: 1031 metres (1128 yards)
Outright hill record: 34.60 seconds - Matt Ryder, Gould GR59, 18.08.2024
Address: Prescott Speed Hillclimb, Gotherington, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL52 9RD
