The VCC is invited to participate in the Skope Classic. This event is open to pre 1965 historic racing cars, sports cars and sporting type touring cars. All entrants must have a VCC Vehicle Identity Card (VIC) no more than 5 years old, log book and historic licence or motorsport equivalent.

This rally is intended to capture the spirit of the original European event by providing a full day of competitive touring followed by an evening function and awards ceremony. Starting at various locations around the South Island, you will drive to Duvauchelle, near Akaroa, collecting points along the way for passing through as many locations as you can within the time allowed.

See our FB page for photos of the 2025 event.

This event follows the style of ‘Trials’ events which were very popular in the UK in the 1950s where drivers and their crews endeavour to get their cars as far as possible up steep and slippery farm tracks and through other difficult courses. A number of these courses will be set out and points are awarded for the distance attained. The cumulative score at the end of the event will determine the winners of the various classes. The venue is at Flemings Farm, Balcairn. The event will conclude with an after match noggin and awarding of trophies at the Anglers Arms Hotel in Sefton.

A 12 round series consisting of Circuit Racing and Hill Climbs, all in the South Island. This points series is the brain child of Don Gerrard who oversees and scores throughout the season.
