This year’s National Day will invite visitors to test their skills in a Wheel Change Challenge. Held at Whittlebury Park on Sunday 3rd August, the Challenge will involve changing a single tyre that is mounted on a frame – so not as complicated as an F1 Pit Stop but every second will count as the fastest time of the day will win a trophy. At just £1 per go, we’ll be raising money for Headway, the brain injury association. Find out more here
Don’t forget to enter your car into one of the seven newly devised classes for this year’s National Day Club Concours. Our judging team will have their work cut out. Closing date is Friday 18th July. Find out more details here
If you’re not a fan of concours but still want to compete, show off your vehicle in our equivalent of a ‘pride of ownership’. Enter The RIWAX Trophy, our new fun competition. Open to any model of any age, find out more here.
Why not make a weekend of National Day? On Saturday there will be a free tour around the area taking place for those wanting to explore. Then on the evening, why not enjoy our gala dinner evening for just £45 per person. Whittlebury Hall has sold out all of its hotel rooms but there are more hotels in the near vicinity. Book both via JDC HQ.
Please join us in welcoming these new members who have joined the JDC in the past month.
We’ll be at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb on 19/20 July for Classic Nostalgia, a celebration of the very best racing cars, vintage specials, and track action with Rally cars and cool cars from all eras as anything goes! A relaxed meeting with lots going on away from the track too with a garden party atmosphere. Get your tickets here
