THIS weekend sees the British Hillclimb Championship make its second visit of the year to Shelsley Walsh -- the oldest racing track in the world.

Ludlow's Scott Moran heads the championship table ahead of 2005 champion Martin Groves, with Roger Moran in third place.

Simon Durling, who lives at Shelsley, is in close contact in fourth place, having won at Bouley Bay, Jersey and Wiscombe Park in Devon.

The only top driver missing will be Rob Turnbull, from Sutton Coldfield, who had a very bad crash at Wiscombe, suffering a broken leg.

Mixing it with the men will be Hereford's Susan Young, the Shelsley ladies' record holder, who won the July 16 meeting outright, the first lady to do so in 18 years.

Other notable entries include Tom New in his Pilbeam, who is leading the Leaders Championship and Robert Kenrick in his Caterham, who is leading the Midland Championship.

There is also a good motorcycle entry and an invitation international class for visiting French competitors.

Insurance broker Footman James and motor distributor Stratstone are sponsoring this weekend's event.

Paul Matthews, managing director of Footman James, said: "Shelsley is always a fantastic occasion for motor racing fans and this weekend promises to be one of the very best."

Shelsley Walsh is 10 miles west of Worcester with road signs from Stourport, Droitwich and Worcester. Practice starts at 10am on Saturday with the national event taking place from 10am on Sunday.
