Club Information

2020 was a year that most of us will want to forget for one reason or another. Many families suffered immeasurable difficulties and our sympathies, thoughts and prayers have been shared with them.

2021 opens another new chapter in the history of our Club, we are celebrating the 90th anniversary of our Premier event - the Circuit of Ireland Rally. 2021 reflects our continued focus on providing quality events for competitors, members and spectators alike.

The Club are delighted to be associated with our sister company which is re-introducing the Circuit of Ireland International Rally a round of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship at Easter (April 2 & 3). Our current event sponsor, Wastewater Solutions is continuing their support and we not only thank them but look forward to a long and lasting relationship into the future. This two day spectacle promises to be one of the paramount rounds in 2021 utilising some of the best tarmac stages in Ireland.

The first May bank holiday sees the Simon Brien Residential Hill Climb at Craigantlet. This event is over 11 decades old and growing in stature every year. One of the superlative rounds of the British Hill Climb and ANICC Championships on closed public roads it attracts some of the most talented drivers in the UK. In 2019 the current 'Hill' record was equalled by an excellent drive from Dave Uren. We are aware that it is only a matter of time before the 39 second barrier will be crossed.

The championship Auto-test has been 'kicked' to the beginning of August from its traditional May date which will be an interesting development.

Knockagh Hill Climb returns to its regular slot on the second weekend in September; the final round of the ANICC Hill Climb Championship, a sure-fire opportunity to see the best talent take on this challenge for man and machine.

The Club really appreciate the support from The North Down House Bistro for our October Sprint at Kirkistown, the penultimate round of the ANICC Championship, which has proved to be one of the most exciting tussles for points during the year.

Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends and what better way to get some fresh air than to come out and join us on It's Not The Boxing Day Rally is back to the 27th of December this year. This event is always oversubscribed within less than a day of entries opening, cause it's a great day of festive fun!!

The Club also organise events that don't need a car to enter. We have an annual Charity function, which happens, rain hail or snow to raise money for our chosen charity. In 2019 we raised over £300 for the N.I. Children's Hospice, thanks to all who supported this worthy cause. 2020 saw Prostrate Cancer as our chosen charity and we hope to continue the support of our members and competitors to battle this common condition.

Why not come and join us in 2021 and enjoy yourself driving, navigating or marshalling on one of our events?

The Club has a membership over 300, but are always keen to recruit new members and competitors into the sport and we manage to fit in several social events throughout the year. We have just launched our Future Champions programme, rewarding 4 young members with £500 each to assist their motorsport activities in 2020, more information on our website ( www.ulsterautomobile.club) and facebook page.

Look forward to seeing you out there!!

The aim is to facilitate under-age drivers to practice and improve their skills safely and legally, in a properly supervised environment, so as to take an active part and take responsibility their interest in cars and motorsport, which should produce a safer driver when they become 17.

In 1934 a small group of young men sensed that the golden age of motoring was passing. This was due to the advent of mass production and therefore, they imposed a 1931 cut off date for cars to be eligible to join the Club (from Austin Sevens to Grand Prix Bugattis), perhaps an arbitrary cut-off point, but one chosen to eliminate the compromises of mass production. However, in its long life the Club has consistently shown a willingness to move with the times and over the years fine racing cars from the post war period have been welcomed which can be regularly seen at speed events.

The Club has special Sections for Light Cars, Edwardians, Alfa Romeo, Delages and Frazer Nash, but overall the Club has played a defining role in the development of what has become a world-wide passion – the love of old cars. In particular, the Vintage Sports-Car Club has fostered the active use of the finest cars.

Currently the VSCC has a global membership of over 7,500, many of whom enjoy the packed calendar of events which range from navigational rallies and off-road trials, driving tests, sprints, speed hill climbs and a host of social occasions. Keystone to the VSCC year are the race meetings which take place at high profile circuits regularly in the summer season, starting off at Silverstone in April and the Donington meeting, the pinnacle of the racing year.

The social element of the Club is essential to its success, and this can be seen in the large number of regular pub meets that take place all over the country and event abroad. The Membership are also well served by a wealth of quality publications, a monthly Newsletter and a well regarded quarterly magazine, The Bulletin, which is reason enough to be a VSCC member.

You would be hard pressed to find a car that was not catered for in the varied calendar. The Club’s ethos has always been one of friendly competition and nowadays all events are held under the auspices of The Motor Sports Association. Particular emphasis is placed on encouraging younger drivers, with special awards for under-23s. All Club events are held in beautiful parts of the British Isles and naturally lend themselves to a weekend trip away with the vintage car.

The Club enjoys a high profile within the historic motor racing world not only as an events promoter and social Club, but many of the Club’s members have been responsible for saving many important cars and have ensured they continue to be used as their creators intended. Quite often these responsibilities are passed from one generation of a family to a second or third.

The VSCC has its own headquarters which houses its archive, Library and permanent salaried staff who manage the Club’s services and events.

Since its formation the traditions of the Vintage Sports-Car Club have remained unaltered, although the events have become increasingly dynamic to cater for historic enthusiasts. The Club prides itself in being dynamic and able to adapt with the commercial aspects now involved in the motor sport world whilst respecting its history. This comes down to the long-standing ethos that ‘Vintage’ is a description of quality, not age, rather like fine wine!

The VWDRC stands for Volkswagen Drag Racing Club. It is possibly the largest one make drag racing club in the world! Not only catering for VW’s but the whole of the Volkswagen Group. (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche).

The club was established by a group of enthusiastic racers in 1987 and has gone from strength to strength and is now proud to boast a varied collection of the fastest and quickest Volkswagen Group vehicles in Europe.

Wakefield and District Motor Sports Club (W&DMSC) was formed in 1934. Initially the club tended to concentrate on motor cycle events. Its former President, Denis Parkinson, is a past TT (Isle of Man Tourist Trophy) winner.

Through the 1930's W&DMSC members competed many times on the Manx TT. And in 1937 and 1938 Wakefield carried off the team prize.

Through the fifties and sixties W&DMSC got involved in motor cycle scrambling; organising many events locally which attracted many international stars. Through the seventies the club attracted more and more members with an interest in cars until in the mid eighties the motor cycle membership tailed off to nil.

Like many motor clubs Wakefield has had its ups and downs at present Wakefield and District Motor Sports Club's current membership's main focus is on car based motor sport, particularly rallying. Of our current Membership, over half the club is competing or involved in a 'hands-on' way with preparation or running of cars on events, some racing and marshalling on rallies.

We organise a Club Championship, designed so that anyone with a standard road car can compete. The events include autotests and car trials in the summer with the occasional navigational test during the winter. The championship rounds are normally run on the second Wednesday of every month.

Club members meet every Wednesday evening from about 8.30 pm onwards for an informal natter at The Plough Inn. Warmfield Lane Normanton. WF1 5TL. Map reference 104/373211
Unless there is a club event is running.

Wallasey Motor Club celebrated its 75th anniversary in October 2004. We are best known as organisers of the Promenade Stages Rally, previously held in September on the closed public roads of New Brighton Promenade. The Club is actively involved with Motor Sport (North West) in the running of the North West Stages closed road rally

In addition we run several Navigation Scatter Rallies and other social events.

Members regularly compete in Autotests, Stage Rallying and Circuit Racing.

We marshal on a number of local rallies.

The club meets at the Port Sunlight Village Social Club, Bridge Street, Port Sunlight, CH62 4UJ each Monday evening from 8.30pm.

Guests and new members are always welcome.

Warrington & District Motor Club's origins date back to 1928 when Warrington Motor Club was first recognised by the RAC. Back in those days it was very much a combined car and motorcycle club. More recent history shows that the club became Enville motor club in the late 1950's or early 1960's, named due to its hub on Enville Street in Warrington town centre. The club finally became known as Warrington & District Motor Club (WDMC) in the early 1970's.

WDMC is a strong and evolving club. We are well represented at weekly club nights. A group of regulars enjoy nothing more than a couple of pints and to share tales of their automotive exploits, projects and dreams. We have a core of members who are passionate about all forms of motorsport. In our ranks are many highly experienced marshals, radio crew, time keepers and rally organisers. We have members competing in rallies around the UK and beyond, from road rallies to single-venue and multi-venue rallies. In recent years we have had members competing successfully in major UK and European championships.

WDMC is responsible for holding the Enville Stages, a single-venue sealed surface rally, which in recent years has made Trac Mon in Anglesey its home. We are proud to be a club capable of organising such a successful event.

The club is also heavily involved in the running of the Legend Fires North West Stages, a multi-venue sealed surface event, with its headquarters in Blackpool. The Legend Fires North West Stages is a highly renowned event, with strong entries travelling from far and wide to take part in this unique and challenging rally.

WDMC organises regular navigation scatter events, lighthearted club nights and provides marshalling teams for stages on major rallies such as the Cambrian Rally and Lombard Revival. We also put together displays for local events such as the Oulton Park Gold Cup and the Cholmondeley Pagent of Power.

WDMC meets at around 20.30 every Tuesday at The Cock @ Budworth Pub, Warrington Rd, Budworth, Northwich on the A559 between Warrington and Northwich. The post code of the pub is CW9 6HB.
WDMC has a good membership and encompasses a broad age range.
