Nominations for all awards close on Thursday 31 October and winners will be announced in December. Ahead of this date, join us in celebrating some of our past winners, who continue to make a difference to our vibrant community…

The Club of the Year award celebrates collaborative work with other clubs, shared best practices, opening motorsport to the local community and members, developing volunteers through training opportunities and generally going above and beyond.

Ulster Automobile Club, 2024 winners, has been in existence for over 100 years and is recognised for its inclusive and innovative approach to motorsport, celebrating current club members and providing opportunities for those interested in getting involved in Northern Ireland. The club is the only club in Northern Ireland to run events in the Irish Tarmac Rally and British Hill Climb Championships and the Northern Ireland Autotest, Hill Climb and Sprint Championships.

The club is particularly well known for its expertise in Hill Climb, Rally and Autotest and contributing to motorsport across Northern Ireland and beyond, following their organisation of the Circuit of Ireland Rally, a round of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship in April and a round of the Northern Ireland Autotest Championship in March.

Wilson Carson, Chair of the Ulster Automobile Club commented, “The Ulster Automobile Club are delighted to have been chosen as Motorsport UK’s Club of the year for 2024. Our members give up their time for the Club and it is great to see this being rewarded.

“Thank you to all our volunteers, members and committee members who give of their time freely, without them none of our events would take place. 2025 is an incredibly special year for the Ulster Automobile Club as we celebrate our 100th Anniversary.”
