The HSA Speed Championship, 15 years old in 2012, provides the perfect starting point for
new competitors to the sport of Speed Hill Climbing and Sprinting and also appeals to the
more experienced competitor. Widely recognised as the premier clubman’s speed championship

Comprising more than 27 rounds throughout the British Isles including iconic venues like Shelsley Walsh, Prescott, Harewood, Gurston Down, Castle Combe, Mallory Park, Lydden Hill and Anglesey. There are 27 different classes, which cover cars of every type from your daily road car, with minimum safety additions, through modified and specialist cars to single seat racing cars and classic cars from the past. All cars must comply with MSA rules in the ‘Blue Book’, which you receive with your competition licence. The championship is scored on the best 9 results so you can choose where to compete and as much or a little according to your personal preference. The unique scoring system gives all competitors the opportunity to score consistently by gaining points from both their place in class and their best time achieved. All rounds of the Championship are reported in Speedscene magazine along with plenty of action photos. |

2012 Championship news
01/02/2012 With the news that the 2012 REIS HSA Speed Championship has been granted an Permit we can now go full steam ahead in promoting the Championship along with the Ginetta Speed challenge and the new class for Flathead engined cars. More details will appear here shortly. With nearly 40 competitors already signed up there are some interesting new entries. Chris Jones who had competed previously in a Mallock MK11 has sold his Formula Ford Van Diemen back to former owner Paul Webb and acquired another Mallock, this time a MK 8. Both drivers are set to appear in the 2012 Championship. Bob Ridge-Stearn, the 2011 HSA competitor of the year, has swapped his Mazda MX5 for the ex Martin Pickles Van Diemen RF87 while the title winning MX5 of the Mugglestone family is likely to reappear in the hands of Angela Mugglestone and/or a 'rent-a-drive' customer. Meanwhile father and son Mugglestone are busy building up a new car (Fulcrum?) to try and make it two in a row. Bob and Anne Adams are making a welcome return to the Championship in their familiar Royale RP30 while the 1100cc Racing Car class could see quite a battle in 2012 if Steve Filkin can build on the promising form he showed at the end of 2011. Already 5 MX5s are entered confirming the class as both an ideal starter class and offering some of the best value fun and competition around. More news is due to appear on these pages shortly so come back often. |

The unique scoring system which gives all competitors the opportunity to score consistently by
gaining points from both their place in class and their best time achieved is
supported by an active web site where scores are displayed in full detail, often
just hours after the event has finished. The web site also provides a forum for
competitors to share plans and experiences as well as the chance to find out
what else is on offer including the large choice of other events to which HSA
members are invited to compete. All rounds of the Championship are fully
reported in Speedscene magazine with plenty of action photos of competitors in
action.
We are especially proud of the friendly and open nature of the Championship that combines competitive motor sport and a family atmosphere. With regular test days, social get togethers and an excellent end of year awards lunch at the National Motor Heritage centre, Gaydon the HSA Speed Championship for the ALDON trophy is the number one choice for the club competitor. |
