Scottish Motorsport Club Development Day
2024-03-09 09:30 - 16:30 | Stirling Court Hotel, University of Stirling, Airthrey Road, Stirling, FK9 4LA
Scottish Motorsport Club Development Day
The biggest risk to motor clubs and events is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. A bit like out on the track, if you keep driving at the same speed you always have done, others will be coming past you as they get faster. In today’s marketplace where disposable income is more difficult to find, keeping your club developing has never been harder.
To support you and your club, the Scottish Association of Motor Sports Clubs is hosting a Club Development Day on Saturday 9th March 2024 at the Stirling Court Hotel. During the day you will:

Hear the latest news from Motorsport UK Chief Executive Hugh Chambers as well as Director of Sporting and Safety John Ryan, and Head of Club Development Claire Kirkpatrick. During the open discussion you will have the opportunity to raise the issues challenging your club with the Motorsport UK Executives and hear what they, and your Regional Association, are doing to help you tackle them.
Learn how to attract new members, retain existing members, and grow your club.
Discuss how to get the best from your club or event organising committee so that your committee members are more engaged, productive, and eager to contribute.
Walk away with new ways to attract competitors and volunteers and increase the visibility of your club.
Increase your understanding of some of the sources of grant aid available and how to make successful applications for funding.
Share techniques for running your club and events efficiently and effectively in 2024 and beyond.

This fully interactive day will see you walk away with tangible ideas and techniques that you can apply immediately and which will increase your club and event’s success. With a combination of motorsport and external facilitators, and even some surprise guests, this will be a day not to be missed.
This day is aimed at everyone who is involved in running a club, organising events, or has aspirations to do so. With limited places, make sure you register early to avoid disappointment! Lunch and refreshments provided – free to members of SAMSC Member Clubs.

Training Webinar - Disability in Motorsport
2024-01-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Online (Zoom Webinar)
Motorsport offers equal opportunities at all levels and having a disability doesn’t mean that you can’t be involved. As long as you can show you are competent, safe and medically fit behind the wheel, there is no reason why you can’t compete. If you’d rather be helping and watching, volunteer marshals and officials get the best seat in the house (apart from the drivers obviously) and there are duties to suit everyone, almost irrespective of age, gender or disability.
Join this session with representatives from Disability Motorsport Scotland, the only charity in Scotland that is working to increase understanding of disability as well as challenging attitudes towards disability. Find out more about how to remove barriers for people with a disability and those with long-term health conditions, and ensure that they have the opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.

Understanding Cross Country Events – Trials, Comps and Challenge Events
2023-10-31 19:00 - 20:30 | Online (Zoom Webinar)
Motorsport has many disciplines, all with slightly different rules, regulations and things that marshals need to be aware of for the event to run safely. Cross Country events are a wide and vibrant sub-culture that reflect many of the “normal” branches of motorsport… but with the twist of very challenging terrain. This online session looks at what marshals need to be aware of in this particular discipline.
This session is suitable for those wanting to get involved as a motorsport marshal, and will also be useful for anyone looking for a bit of a refresher.
This training will be supplemented with practical training in South West Scotland in November.

Scottish Mini Cooper Cup / Scottish R53 Mini Cooper S Cup
2023-09-10 09:00 | Knockhill Racing Circuit, Dunfermline, Fife, KY12 9TF
The Scottish Mini Cooper Cup is recognised as one of the best single-make racing series in the UK. It has been a proving ground for many top drivers including British Touring Car Championship stars Rory Butcher, Aiden Moffat and Chris Smiley.
Close, hard and competitive racing is guaranteed in this championship, which provides an ideal stepping stone for drivers looking to move up the motorsport ladder.
Only the 1.6 Mini Cooper model built between 2001-2006 are eligible. The championship regulations are designed to ensure that cars are built to the same specification; the cars use identical Yokohama tyres and run the same ECU. This puts more emphasis on a driver’s skill by keeping the cars performance as equal as possible.

The R53 Mini Cooper S Cup is the fastest single make saloon car class at Scottish Championship race meetings. Full slick and wet tyre options, a 1.6 litre super charged power unit and three way adjustable suspension provides drivers with a touring car experience, at a fraction of the budget.
The class launched in 2017 and has quickly gathered momentum with former Scottish and British Champions returning to race these cars around the undulating Knockhill Racing Circuit.
The speed and handling characteristics of these cars favour slightly more experienced drivers but with some coaching, an eager newcomer could also enjoy this championship. The ability to choose between slick and wet tyres – to suit the weather conditions – plus the choice of suspension settings provides mechanics and drivers with more of a set up challenge than the other Scottish single make series. This adds another dimension to this championship which rewards well rounded drivers.
The ethos around this series is to help develop any aspiring touring car driver, who want to progress his/her skills further in what is a very quick and capable racing car. The ability to run this spec car at other race circuits and series around the UK – such as British Mini Challenge – provides drivers with the chance to easily compete in other series and learn new circuits as well.

Scottish Fiesta ST Championship
2023-09-09 09:00 | Knockhill Racing Circuit, Dunfermline, Fife, KY12 9TF
Fiesta racing has been a mainstay of Scottish Motor Racing for over 20 years, initially with the XR2 model – which is still raced in our Classics Sports and Saloons Championship – and more recently with the Fiesta ST model.
The championship continues to offer incredibly close and hard racing at an affordable price point. The Fiesta ST race cars are powered by the standard but punchy 2 litre Duratec power unit which is found in the road going car. They run on the super grippy Toyo Proxes R888R tyre and are equipped with ABS brakes and 3-way adjustable dampers. This makes for a responsive but forgiving driving experience that inspires confidence in the driver to push further and further towards the limit.
For this reason, the championship attracts both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike. In the past, the Fiesta class has helped to launch the careers of some of Scotland’s top racing drivers (notably triple British Touring Car Champion, Gordon Shedden, started his motor racing career in the Fiesta championship) and today the championship still offers drivers a great apprenticeship in race craft and car control.

Scottish Classic Sports and Saloon Championship, Scottish Fiesta ST Championship
2023-07-09 09:00 | Knockhill Racing Circuit, Dunfermline, Fife, KY12 9TF
Always a crowd pleaser, the Scottish Classic Sports and Saloon Championship brings some nostalgia to the Scottish Championship. In many cases this championship offers drivers the opportunity to race the cars that they grew up watching and envying, but it also provides an avenue for anyone – who enjoys a passion for classic cars – to get out on track and enjoy the sheer pleasure of hustling iconic cars of yesteryear around the undulating Knockhill racing circuit.
Both mass production-based cars and limited production cars can take part. The championship boasts 6 different classes which are mainly for cars manufactured up until 31st December 1989. Additionally there is a seperate class for Ford Fiesta XR2 cars racing alongside the main championship cars and battling for the title of XR2 Champion.

Fiesta racing has been a mainstay of Scottish Motor Racing for over 20 years, initially with the XR2 model – which is still raced in our Classics Sports and Saloons Championship – and more recently with the Fiesta ST model.
The championship continues to offer incredibly close and hard racing at an affordable price point. The Fiesta ST race cars are powered by the standard but punchy 2 litre Duratec power unit which is found in the road going car. They run on the super grippy Toyo Proxes R888R tyre and are equipped with ABS brakes and 3-way adjustable dampers. This makes for a responsive but forgiving driving experience that inspires confidence in the driver to push further and further towards the limit.
For this reason, the championship attracts both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike. In the past, the Fiesta class has helped to launch the careers of some of Scotland’s top racing drivers (notably triple British Touring Car Champion, Gordon Shedden, started his motor racing career in the Fiesta championship) and today the championship still offers drivers a great apprenticeship in race craft and car control.

Scottish C1 Cup
2023-07-08 09:00 | Knockhill Racing Circuit, Dunfermline, Fife, KY12 9TF
This championship represents an opportunity for you to own your own racing car, become a racing driver and compete for a full season at Scotland’s premier racing circuit, Knockhill, for less than £6,500!
To keep the racing exciting and the costs under control, the Citroen C1 Cup cars run to very simple but tight regulations. The race cars are almost literally a C1 road car with a roll cage bolted in, meaning that you can build a car – from start to finish – over the course of a weekend, if you’re in a rush.
The C1’s 1 litre power unit may not make them the fastest race cars on a Scottish Championship race weekend but we guarantee that racing door handle to door handle around the humps and bumps of Knockhill racing circuit will bring a smile to any racers face – whether you’re a seasoned campaigner or a complete newcomer.
Alongside the battle for the outright championship, there is also a Newcomers Cup for anyone who has not held a Motorsport UK competition licence before.
Additionally, if you’re feeling ambitious, there are C1 Cup endurance races held throughout the UK and even at Spa-Francorchamps, where a 24 hour race is run annually.

Eunos Ecosse Open Weekend
2023-07-08 08:00 - 2023-07-09 17:00 | Kames Circuit, 3 Furnace Road, Muirkirk, KA18 3QQ, United Kingdom
2023 marks the 10th Anniversary of Eunos Ecosse, the club set up to provide low cost motorsport in Scotland for Mazda MX5 owners. The club has grown over the years, has become Motorsport UK accredited, and is the major reason why so many MX5s compete in hill-climbs and sprints in Scotland today.
To celebrate the big birthday, the Club is re holding an Open Weekend on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th July at Kames Circuit and everyone is welcome.
On Saturday, there will be a display of hillclimb and sprint cars (including lots of MX5s of course) and Club members will be happy to chat about the cars, the competition and why hillclimbs and sprints are so popular in Scotland. A number of other Scottish car clubs will also be present so it’s a great opportunity to find out more about Scottish Motorsport. There will also be a raffle in aid of charity.
On Sunday, its your chance to see the cars perform on track with passenger rides available and more displays in the paddock. It should be a great weekend and it would be good to see as many car and motorsport fans there as possible.

BVAC Classic Festival of Motoring
2023-06-18 09:00 - 17:00 | Thirlestane Castle, Thirlestane Castle, Lauder, TD2 6RU, United Kingdom
Set in the beautiful grounds of Thirlestane Castle, in the Scottish Borders, the BVAC Classic is the premier classic car show for all the family, in Scotland.
It combines over 1,000 wonderful classic and vintage cars, with fabulous Scottish food, drink, retail and displays, making it a wonderful day out for the whole family.
Now in its 48th year, the event – proudly organised by the Borders Vintage Automobile Club – has grown from strength to strength, gaining recognition from The Sunday Times as ‘One of the top ten motoring events in the UK’.
In 2023, the event will take place on Sunday 18th June, which also happens to be Father’s Day! It will once again feature some of the finest veteran, vintage and classic cars from across the country, as well as kid’s activities, live rally action, stunt displays, a retail village and of course, plenty of lovely food and drink stops to keep you fuelled throughout the day!
New for 2023, will be the introduction of a Hill Rally stage within the event, meaning visitors will be treated to the sights and sound of live motorsport action.
The BVAC Classic will play host to the a special stage of the Scottish Summer Hill Rally; a spectator area will enable visitors to see the rally cars setting off in dramatic style and power sliding their way down the estate’s gravel stage.
The event’s rally service park will also be based within the BVAC Classic Showground at Thirlestane Castle; this is the home for teams and crews competing in the rally and is where the cars are serviced (and sometimes repaired!) in-between stages, meaning visitors to the BVAC Classic will be able to get up close to some of these impressive machines.

Scottish Summer Hill Rally
2023-06-17 - 2023-06-18 | Thirlestane Castle, Thirlestane Castle, Lauder, TD2 6RU, United Kingdom
The Summer Hill Rally, organised by the Scottish Hill Rally Club, will see competitors tackle stages across the Scottish Borders County on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th June, including a special spectator stage within the BVAC Classic at Thirlestane Castle.
Hill Rallying is a cousin of traditional stage rallying and see’s competitors (driver and co-driver) tackle a variety of off-road stages against the clock; the main difference is that the terrain often tends to be more extreme than in normal stage rallying and as such, so are the competing vehicles! The cars are mostly derived from road going 4×4’s but with some fairly major modifications; expect to see stripped out Land Rover Defender’s with V8 engines giving out 500+ bhp amongst other weird and wonderful off-road monsters!
There will be a minimum of 58 stage miles and just 84 road miles over the weekend. The route is compact and all stages are contained within an area between Lauder, Stow and Galashiels. The terrain is superb hill rally ground and most of it has never been used before.

EcoRally Scotland
2023-06-11 08:00 - 17:00 | Thirlestane Castle, Thirlestane Castle, Lauder, TD2 6RU, United Kingdom
On 11 June, the first ever EcoRally Scotland event will take place in the Scottish Borders, run by the Scottish Motor Racing Club.
The event starts and finishes at the beautiful 16th Century Thirlestane Castle, in Lauder, and consists of a stunning road route, taking in the spectacular scenery and picturesque villages around the Scottish Borders, with a leisurely lunch break along the way. Teams of two (driver and navigator) and their Electric Vehicle will tackle a 100-mile road route.
Breakfast at Thirlestane Castle, wonderful scenery and a leisurely lunch stop will make for a lovely day out in itself but there will also be a competitive element to this excursion… think orienteering in EV’s!
On the morning of the event, you will be provided with a map and clues to highlight the route for the day. There will be checkpoints which teams will need to record, within an allotted time, to prove they have completed the right route. The route will also be interspersed with ‘regularity tests’ where teams will need to complete a specified section of road at a prescribed average speed, which will be recorded by marshals on the route.
The objective is to complete the route correctly by recording all the check points, at the right times and by completing the regularity tests as close to the prescribed average speed, as possible. Whilst there is a timed element, this competition is not about speed – precision navigating, problem solving and teamwork is the aim of the game here!
Whilst it is a competition, no prior rally or motorsport experience is required to take part.
If you would like to take part in this event, you can register at https://www.smrc.co.uk/ecorally-scotland/
