       The ninth revival of the famed early 1900s motoring event up Kop
       Hill promises a celebration of cars through the ages, with more
       than 400 historic cars and motorcycles ranging from the earliest
       years of the 20th century to modern exotics taking on the famous
       hill - with many more on display in the paddock.
       It provides an opportunity to see and hear an eclectic range of
       cars and motorcycles, many of which participated in the event
       when it was a full-blown competitive hillclimb, in action in a
       historic setting.
       As well as celebrating the event's heyday as a timed ascent up
       the deceptively steep hill, the 2017 running also celebrates 70
       years of Ferrari. Among the many Maranello-built cars entered,
       stand-out entries include a 1957 Ferrari 500TRC and a
       lightweight Competition Daytona from 1973, of the type that took
       class wins at Le Mans in the early Seventies.
       This year sees a visit from the iconic ‘Genevieve’, the Darracq
       that was the star of the 1953 film of the same name, and a
       regular participant in the annual London to Brighton Run.
       Visitors can enter a raffle for a ride up Kop Hill in her.
