Kop Hill Climb's exciting revival last year propelled it into one of the "must attend" events on the historic motorsport calendar. Kop Hill near Princes Risborough Buckinghamshire, was one of the most popular speed hill climbs in the country for motorcycles and motorcars in the period between 1910 and 1925.
This year's centenary event celebrates the first recorded races by motorcyclists in 1910. A year later they were joined by motorcars. The hill was in regular use by motorcycles and motorcars until 1925 when, as a result of an accident on the hill, all racing on public roads in Britain was banned.
For owners of vintage, veteran and classic motorcars there is the opportunity to follow in the slipstream of Malcolm Campbell in his "Bluebird", Henry Segrave in his Sunbeam, or for motorcyclists, Freddie Dixon on his Douglas.
For two days, Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th of September the hill will be returned to its glorious past. Storming the hill this year will be over 250 historic vehicles from the earliest days through to post-war classics. These will be leavened by a few modern exotic cars showing how motoring has developed over the last 100 years.
The event will not be a speed hill climb but rather a commemorative run to recall Kop Hill's exciting past.
Spectators will be able to see and hear the vehicles roar up the Hill and have a close up view of the vehicles in the paddock.
This event is an opportunity for Drivers, Riders, Classic Owners and Spectators to support the revival of this exciting and historic Hill Climb, at the same time as raising money for worthy local charities.
