Hot Hatch to Hot Rod, Racer to Road Car, Drifter to Daily the Retro Rides Gathering blends it all together into a delicious day of car action. This year we return again to the magnificent Prescott hill climb to put on one of the finest shows of the year. We're still early in the year so expect more details to come (follow us on Twitter or on Facebook to keep up to date), but the usual pillars of the event is there, RWYB hill climb, Club stands, amazing Guest cars, Traders, Retro Parking, and of course it is all set in the fantastic venue that is Prescott.

Weekend tickets are available in limited numbers at £25 for those that fancy doing a bit of camping, weather you are travelling from a long way away, or just want to soak up the relaxed vibes of our little camp site. Day tickets are available on the gate for £10, we will have cheaper advance day tickets for sale shortly.

Club booking is simple, tell us how many cars you will have on your stand at the email address below and we'll get the required number of passes to you, so the cars can get into the club area, remember a car pass is not a ticket, just the method to get to the right stand space. We have an awesome trading area for those that wish to trade, drop us an email at the address below for more info on this.

 Look out for more exciting announcments, website updates and general atmosphere on our Facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/RetroRidesGathering and Twitterhttps://twitter.com/#!/rrgathering, or in our Forumhttp://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rrg2012.

Last year it was worth it just to see the 400bhp Viva van. I suspect I'll be along this year too.

Quite fancy this event did the hill many many years ago in my Oselli Mini.

Do we get a chance to run the hill in this event?

Hi

That would be nice a sight, rear engined V6 Beta going up the hill

options are:
-book the whole weekend which includes camping/entrance to Prescott on the Sunday
details here: http://www.retroridesgathering.com/ Price: Adults £25 under 17's free (tickets are limited be quick)
 
or
-turn up on the Sunday morning, pay £10 on the gate, we have a club stand booked (this gets you into Prescott), send me your address and I'll pop a pass in the post.

-booking for the hill climb can only be done on the Sunday morning, recommend getting there early as it's very popular  (price to be advised) I'm sure Marcus can tell what it cost last year.

bring your driving license and MOT, pay your money and away you go.
helmet not compulsory

anyone needing a club pass drop me a email t_harrison3@sky.com

Hi Tony,

Are you still camping on the Saturday night for this event? Are there still spaces available (nothing mentioned on the website)?

Cheers, Mark.

Hi Mark

yes I'm camping Frid/Sat nights
there were a limited no of weekend tickets which have all been sold 

might be worth putting a wanted post on their forum  http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rrg2012
any being sold should be at face value £25 for the weekend which include admission to Prescott on the Sunday

Another fantastic Retro Rides Gathering, sadly the Beta stand comprised of a VW Corrado(mine)  Mick/Marks Group 4 V6 Beta Coupe  ,Mk1Clio and a Peugeot 1.9 205 GTI

but what we lacked on the stand, Mark/Mick definitely made up for on track 
and I was just in the right place to capture the moment

I wonder who's tyre marks these belong to?


















Fortunately Mick, Mark and car were ok

Mark has some in car footage, which is brilliant!
Haven't laughed so much in ages 

loads more photos to follow
