Racers find new home

Competitors in the Intermarque,

Tin Tops and Modified Saloon Car series will continue to race together in 2019 despite the closure of the British Automobile Racing Club

South East Centre.

BARC SE, which ran the three series, has been shut as part of a

BARC reorganisation. The categories are now set to race under the banner of the Classic and Modern Motorsport Club, featuring at events run by the British Racing & Sports Car Club, MG Car Club and Motorsport Vision Racing.

Prime mover and experienced racer Rod Birley said: “What the

BARC wants to do is focus on national series, but there are some competitors who don’t have the finances or interest in racing nationally.

“What we’re doing is trying to keep the competitors together. There are too many series out there, but we’re not trying to do anything new; we just want to carry on racing in the south-east.”
