Your rough guide to Motorsport Events throughout Devon 2007 Welcome to the rough guide to motorsport events happening throughout
Devon, including hillclimbs at Wiscombe Park, Classic Trials including
the
Lands End Trial and the Exeter Trial, Sprints and many other forms
of motorsport covering both cars and motorbikes. We admit to having
a particular interest in locally run events which are good for specatators,
whether you're a family of six or a died-in-the-wool petrolhead.
Despite the county lacking a motoring racing circuit as such, there
is an exciting amount of 'grass roots' motoring events held throughout
Devon. Some of
the
action can be quite hard to track down, which is why we're here to
help.
