THE HILL CLIMB:
THE MIDLANDS’ MOST STYLISH
MOTORSPORT EVENT
On the 13th and 14th July 2019, Chateau Impney will once again
transform its picturesque grounds into the Midlands most stylish
motorsport event for the fifth edition of the Chateau Impney Hill
Climb. The Hill Climb is a prestigious, lifestyle event that centres
itself around motorsport and enjoying the little luxuries that life
has to offer. Set in the grounds of the iconic Louis XIII-style Grade II*
listed Chateau, the Hill Climb began back in the 1950’s when local
car clubs organised an annual sprint through the estate, now in
2019 the event is ‘easily the most picturesque of the country’s sprint
and hill climb’s’ that has gone from strength to strength.
This year will see over 200 pre-1967 cars roaring up the technically
challenging course, watch as these exquisite vehicles battle to break
records and become the King of the Hill. Joining the 1960’s Formula
1 motors, World Rally Championship models are some of the
world’s rarest cars - including a Lotus 19, Bugatti Type 35, Leyland-
Thomas No.1, and Lola T70 MkII. Off the track, you will get up close
and personal to these beautiful machines as you wander around
the Competitors Paddock which houses over £500million worth of
classic cars and the Michelin Supercar Paddock which welcomes
some of the world’s most high octane ‘super’ and ‘hyper’ cars.
