Gurston Down Speed Hill Climb celebrates its 50th Anniversary during the Tony Marsh Memorial Weekend on the 17th and 18th of June.
The Anniversary Celebrations include some of the cars and drivers who competed at the first event or were part of Tony Marsh’s racing career. There will be a convoy run of the cars during practise and during the events both days. Tony Marsh was instrumental in the design and build of the hill as we know it today. There are over 130 cars and drivers together with more than 30 motorbikes competing on both days with a separate event on Saturday and Sunday.
All will face the challenge of the legendary 12 feet wide, fast and twisty course at Wiltshire’s famous Speed Hill Climb Venue, Gurston Down. With unrivalled access to the hill, paddock, cars, drivers and facilities available to our spectators, the weekend promises to be a veritable sceptical of sound, smell, skill and speed. We have excellent catering and refreshments on site too!
The racing duo of Peter and Simon Marsh, who are the sons of the six times British Hill Climb Champion Tony Marsh, have both previously enjoyed success at the course which holds great sentimental value for them. Their late father co-designed the course in 1967 and went on to win the first-ever meet to take place there.
