On that first occasion, the course was 992 yards (907 m) in length, but in 1907 it was standardised at 1000 yards (914 m), the length it remains today. </p><p>Shelsley Walsh is a notably steep course by the standards of today's hillclimbs held in the United Kingdom. It rises 328 feet (100 m) during its length, for an average gradient of 1 in 9.14 (10.9%), with the steepest section being as much as 1 in 6.24 (16%). This makes Shelsley a hill on which power is important, and on which the gap in times between the most powerful cars and the rest is greater than at many other venues. It is also narrow, being no more than 12 feet (3.66 m) wide at some points. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Shelsley_Walsh_Speed_Hill_Climb&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_years">Early years</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Shelsley_Walsh_Speed_Hill_Climb&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Early years"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The winner of the first event, held on Saturday 12 August 1905, was Ernest Instone (35 hp <a href="/wiki/Daimler_Company" title="Daimler Company">Daimler</a>), who established the hill record by recording a time of 77.6 seconds for an average speed of 26.15 mph (42.08 km/h).<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, at that time hillclimbs were not strictly speed events at all, performances being rated in terms of a formula based on power and cars of 20 hp or more being required to be four-seaters and to carry passengers. All cars were required to carry full touring trim and a full load of passengers. The winner was calculated by multiplying the car's time in seconds by the horsepower, and then divided by the total weight (including the weight of the driver and passengers and any ballast).<sup id="cite_ref-May_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-May-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There was also the question of whether a particular car would make it up the hill at all.

As a result, it was decided to move the Open date to July, with the Amateur meeting taking the September date. It was also decided that the track should be resurfaced, now sprayed with bitumen. The two most important international competitors at this meeting were <a href="/wiki/Hans_Stuck" title="Hans Stuck">Hans Stuck</a> in an <a href="/wiki/Austro_Daimler" class="mw-redirect" title="Austro Daimler">Austro Daimler</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_Caracciola" title="Rudolf Caracciola">Rudolf Caracciola</a> in a <a href="/wiki/Mercedes_SSK" class="mw-redirect" title="Mercedes SSK">Mercedes SSK</a> sports car of the type he raced to win the <a href="/w/index.php?title=1929_RAC_Tourist_Trophy&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="1929 RAC Tourist Trophy (page does not exist)">1929 RAC Tourist Trophy</a>.

The weather was wet however, and he was unable to even match the time he set in 1930, with a best time of 45.2.

For the September 1936 meeting new timing apparatus were installed, allowing timing to the one-hundredth of a second rather than the one-tenth previously. However due to very poor weather times were not improved. At the next meeting however (June 1937), in good weather Mays was able to lower his record to 39.09 in the first event to take place over two days.<sup id="cite_ref-May_2-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-May-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the last meeting before <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, in June 1939, Mays set a new record of 37.37 seconds in his <a href="/wiki/English_Racing_Automobiles" title="English Racing Automobiles">ERA</a> R4D. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Shelsley_Walsh_winners_from_1930_to_1939">Shelsley Walsh winners from 1930 to 1939</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Shelsley_Walsh_Speed_Hill_Climb&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Shelsley Walsh winners from 1930 to 1939"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th width="*">Year </th> <th width="*">Date </th> <th width="*">Winner on Time<sup id="cite_ref-May_2-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-May-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <br /> Driver (Make) </th> <th width="*">Time (seconds) </th></tr> <tr> <th rowspan="2">1930 </th> <td>12 July </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Hans_Stuck" title="Hans Stuck">H.

Several <a href="/wiki/Formula_One" title="Formula One">Formula One</a> drivers competed regularly at Shelsley in this era, among them four-time <a href="/wiki/British_Hill_Climb_Championship" title="British Hill Climb Championship">British Hill Climb Championship</a> winner <a href="/wiki/Ken_Wharton" title="Ken Wharton">Ken Wharton</a> who broke the hill record on four occasions, and <a href="/wiki/Tony_Marsh_(racing_driver)" title="Tony Marsh (racing driver)">Tony Marsh</a>. The young <a href="/wiki/Stirling_Moss" title="Stirling Moss">Stirling Moss</a> would have made his competition debut at Shelsley in 1947, but the entry list was full; he had to be content with a win in 1948. </p><p>The first sub-30 second climb at Shelsley was made by <a href="/wiki/David_Hepworth_(racing_driver)" title="David Hepworth (racing driver)">David Hepworth</a> in 1971 in his own <a href="/wiki/Four-wheel-drive" class="mw-redirect" title="Four-wheel-drive">four-wheel-drive</a> Hepworth FF, and little by little the outright record was chipped away - particularly by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Alister_Douglas-Osborn&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Alister Douglas-Osborn (page does not exist)">Alister Douglas-Osborn</a>, who broke it no fewer than eight times between 1976 and 1983 - until <a href="/w/index.php?title=Richard_Brown_(racing_driver)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Richard Brown (racing driver) (page does not exist)">Richard Brown</a> brought it down to 25.34 seconds in 1992. However, an increasingly uneven surface made smooth runs more difficult, and around the start of the 21st century, the 25 second barrier had still not been broken.

The original lease, taken out in 1905, ran for the common length of 99 years - which meant that a solution was urgently needed if 2004 was not to mark the end of hillclimbing at the venue. The owners of the land would not consider selling it outright, but were prepared to extend the lease (by a further 99 years). This, however, would cost a very substantial sum of money, and so the MAC launched the Shelsley Trust, with the aim of raising over a million pounds in order to secure the future of hillclimbing at Shelsley. This target was achieved, and the new lease signed in 2005. </p><p>For nine years, the track record had stood at 25.34 seconds and many wondered when it would fall again and who could beat the record. The Scottish driver <a href="/wiki/Graeme_Wight_Jr" class="mw-redirect" title="Graeme Wight Jr">Graeme Wight Jr</a> was the first to achieve the feat, in 2002, and he collected the £1,000 prize which had been put up for the first driver to dip under 25 seconds with a run of 24.85 seconds. The record was lowered several more times in the next few years, including two records in <a href="/wiki/2008_British_Hill_Climb_Championship_season" title="2008 British Hill Climb Championship season">2008</a> by three-time reigning champion <a href="/wiki/Martin_Groves" title="Martin Groves">Martin Groves</a>.
