Shelsley Walsh 19th/20th July 2025

Competition, General News, Past Events

5 Allards and the Ballamy Special competed in the Shelsley Walsh hill climb on 19th & 20th July 2025. The weather was warm with a mixture of sunshine, drizzle and a few torrential rain showers that annoyingly arrived literally as our class was waiting on the start line then finished soon after we’d parked again under the shelters in the paddock.

Tom Walker pipped Mark Brett to 1st place with a new personal best in this car of 41.02s; in fact no less than 5 drivers recorded new personal best times.
