Due to the heavy snow in January the postponed VSCC New Year Driving Tests took place at Brooklands on Sunday 7 February on a cold and grey day.

Fifty nine competitors attacked the varied driving tests set up for the by the VSCC at the legendry Brooklands Race circuit, taking in sections on the historic banking, test hill , entrance road and paddock area.

The winner of Class 3 (Standard Sports Cars) was the oldest car (1924) to turn up the Bugatti T13 Brescia of Edmund Burgess scoring eight best scores on test  and despite taking the wrong course on non stop banking test he still won his class.

Class 2 (Touring Cars) was won by Michael Brown in his Riley 9 Tourer (1930) taking nine best scores but clipping two bollards,

Class 4 (Modified Sports Cars) went to  Edward Williams in his diminuative Austin 7 Ulster (1930).

In the paddock in front of the Clubhouse was reserved for prewar machinery including a very rare Carden and a Jaguar C-Type that maybe not prewar but was very beautiful.   

The peace of the lunchbreak was broken by the noise of a Clerget Rotary engine being run  up in the museum's Sopwith Camel.
