Current Issue - Speedscene 239 – July/August 2026
The latest issue of Speedscene is packed with competition news, reports, personalities and technical interest from across the world of sprinting and hillclimbing. At the sharp end of the sport, extensive coverage of the MSUK Nova Motorsport British Hillclimb Championship follows the latest battles at Harewood, Prescott and Shelsley Walsh, where Will Hall’s record-breaking performances have made him a major force in the title fight.
The British Sprint Championship also receives comprehensive attention, including the latest action from Blyton Park, where reigning champion Steve Broughton and rising star Ethan Faulkner continued their increasingly compelling battle for outright honours. Faulkner is also the subject of this issue’s Speedscene Meets feature, which explores his remarkable rise from sim racing to becoming one of the leading talents in British sprinting, as well as the considerable family effort behind his championship campaign.
Elsewhere, the magazine keeps readers up to date with the HSA Speed Championship and a wide variety of events and competitors from around the country. There is also plenty of personal insight from regular columnists. Technical & Otherwise offers Paul Parker’s thoughts on developments within the sport, while Andrew Dinner recounts his eventful start to the season in Pilbeam Ponderings. Les Buck puts his Porsche Cayman to the test at new venues in Buck’s Fizz, while Peter Hubbard continues the fascinating development story of his ambitious 600cc two-stroke Shelsley Special, Minimus.
For those who enjoy the history and personalities of the sport, Jerry Sturman looks back at one of British hillclimbing’s most successful marques in Senior Moments, while Thirty Years Ago revisits what Speedscene was reporting in 1996. The issue also includes Blast from the Past and a selection of motorsport book reviews, alongside the ever-popular Marketplace.
From record-breaking modern machinery and fiercely contested championships to grassroots competition, engineering, history and the people who make the sport what it is, Speedscene 239 offers a broad and lively snapshot of the current sprint and hillclimb scene.
