Early motorsport in Britain emerged at the turn of the 20th century, as the invention of the motor vehicle sparked a wave of public fascination with speed and technical innovation.
Hill climbs and endurance trials became popular ways to test the technology of the time, long before purpose-built racing circuits
From 1904 to 1925, Aston Hill near Aston Clinton hosted the nation’s most prestigious hill climb, attracting pioneering drivers and manufacturers who shaped the future of motor racing.
This exhibition opened now until 21st September is a centenary celebration of one of Britain’s most significant early motorsport events, The Aston Hill Climb 100.
