The Introduction to Hillclimb Day is limited to just 15 Ferraris, bookable using the form below.

The popular Introduction to Hillclimb Day returns for 2025.

It offers newcomers an insight into what is involved in competing in hillclimbs and sprints in a safe and controlled environment under the guidance of the Shelsley Walsh Driving School. As with our Club’s Hillclimb Championship this day is for road-going Ferraris with road tyres. Taking place on Tuesday 15th April 2025 at Shelsley Walsh near Worcester, this is a day designed for those who have not competed in their Ferrari before.

The main aim of the Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb Driving School is to provide the highest level of instruction on the world’s oldest motorsport venue, in a controlled, safe manner, to give an enjoyable and exciting day.

The day will consist of initial tuition, a hill walk with AHASS qualified instructors, and then numerous runs up the hill under the watchful eye of the instructors. There will be an explanation of what it takes to compete in a Championship, the license procedure, and what the requirement for helmets and similar equipment are.

The day’s programme will be as follows (please note that timings are approximate):

• 08:00 Arrive at Shelsley Walsh, Sign-on at the Paddock Office and have breakfast
