Monday, 31st August 2026
With grateful thanks to the Shenstone & District Car Club for their continued support, we are counting the days to our return to Curborough Sprint Course – on Monday 31st August 2026! This will be our seventh consecutive year, promising yet another fantastic day of motorsport entertainment.
Online entry is now closed.
An extremely relaxed and highly enjoyable day, this is the perfect opportunity to see some amazing vehicles in action on the challenging figure-of-eight course, aka the “Cürburgring”. Not only is there great spectator viewing with knowledgeable and highly entertaining commentary throughout the day, visitors are also encouraged to wander around the Paddock and chat with the owners.
This year we are enormously privileged to welcome one of Britain’s great racing heroes, Richard Attwood. The man who steered a Porsche 917 to victory at the legendary Le Mans circuit in 1970, maintaining speeds of more than 200mph for 24 hours – in torrential rain! You will be able to read more about his exploits in the programme.
We are thrilled to welcome entrants old and new, including Nigel Blandin in his 1970s Jersey hill climber Ford Capri – the fire-breathing, 5,700cc orange “Catering Meats Special” – and look forward to witnessing another very special and eclectic selection of vehicles in action! We are truly indebted to all the entrants for bringing along their wonderful machines to help us to put on such a superb day.
Spectator admission is payable on the day (cash or card): £10 per adult, with free entry for children under 16. Members of Shenstone & District Car Club are also entitled to free entry on presentation of a valid membership card.
We could not put on the event without the support of our sponsors, to whom we are exceedingly grateful, especially during challenging times. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, there are a number of options available which can be viewed here.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, last year we raised over £16,500 for charity. This year, we are aiming even higher and hope to surpass that total.

The sprint course at Curborough was formerly a small part of RAF Lichfield, the busiest airfield in Staffordshire during World War II. Construction of the airfield began in 1939. On completion, 51 Maintenance Unit took up residence on 1st August 1940. The largest inhabitants of RAF Lichfield were 27 Operational Training Unit whose task was to train aircrew on Wellington bombers. After the war effort, 51 MU continued to modify, store and break up aircraft, until the airfield’s closure on 15th April 1958. The Air Ministry eventually sold the entire site for the sum of £240,000 on 1st May 1962.
