Well, what a summer that was. But now it is time to start really looking forward to 2021 – and the Pre-War Prescott weekend in particular, which is a little more than ten months away. And since this year’s weekend had to be canceled, we are planning an extra special weekend for 2021. The event will, for the first time be a three-day affair, with a pub gathering on Thursday evening and a full day of events in the area on Friday before our traditional Friday evening reception. Full details of Friday’s activities will be announced here shortly, so watch this space. But for the time being, if you are planning to arrive from afar, may we suggest you arrange to arrive on Thursday instead of Friday. You will not be disappointed!
Entries are open and the entry list currently stands at 122, with 283 climbs already allocated. We are working hard to ensure that the queuing for the hill that we experienced at PWP 2019 is not repeated. We are paying for additional Bugatti Owners’ Club marshals in the Paddock (believe me – they are NOT to be messed with!) and we will also be allocating fewer climbs next year. Right now, you can book three climbs (two plus the free one that comes with every entry), but this will be throttled down to one plus the free one very soon now. You have been warned!
As for Prescott itself, the estate has had a torrid year but is just beginning to open up, in a limited fashion, this month. We are very confident that, by next July, all this nonsense will be far behind us and we can once again enjoy the full social side of Prescott that is the hallmark of Pre-War Prescott.
One positive from all of the chaos this year is that much of the preparatory ‘back room’ work for next year’s weekend has already been done, so will will have the time and opportunity to plan a truly memorable weekend across all three days, including a very special Navigation Rally and a parallel Scenic Tour on Saturday.
All in all, there is a great deal to look forward to, so do please make your plans and get your entry in – if you have not already done so. You can check your entry on the Entry list here and you can enter online here. And stop by here for further updates as plans develop. See you there!
