Gentlemen and ladies of the wheel,
The engines are whispering, the tyres are dreaming of tarmac, and in just six days, the legendary slopes of Brittany will echo with the symphony of speed once again…

Welcome to the Saint Gouëno Masters 2025 — where the best of British and Irish hillclimb spirit meets French passion and hospitality.

This year’s edition promises to be more spectacular than ever. As always, the Masters runs are a unique invitation-only event within the broader Saint Gouëno Hillclimb weekend, offering select drivers from the UK and Ireland a chance to tackle one of France’s most thrilling and prestigious courses.

🏁 Key Info for All Masters Competitors

• Arrival & Paddock Access:
  Masters drivers are expected on Friday morning for paddock setup and vehicle verification.
  Detailed schedule will be posted Thursday night here on the blog — don’t forget to check back in!
• Location:
  Saint Gouëno, Côtes-d’Armor (Brittany, France) – postcode 22330, follow the signs to Course de Côte from the village centre.
• Friday – Classic Hillclimb:
  On Friday, a few British drivers will be taking part in the Montée Historique de Saint Gouëno, a separate classic hillclimb event reserved for vintage cars.
• Participation is limited to pre-selected vehicles and drivers registered specifically for this run — it’s not part of the Masters competition.
  (Rumour has it that a certain tall Irish gentleman — who may or may not have helped organise this whole Masters business — will be storming the hill in a thunderous Silver Fury. Probably just for the noise… and the glory.
