THE HERITAGE
Shelsley Walsh first used on 12th August 1905 when the Midland Automobile Club had to find an alternative venue to Sun Rising Hill near Stratford upon Avon. Since then the Club has run hill climbs at Shelsley Walsh, making it the oldest motor sport event still held on its original course. The start line, the corners, the views are essentially the same making it a jewel in the crown of hill climbing.
