CLASSIC SPORTS CAR CLUB

The Classic Sports Car Club may be far from the largest club but exemplifies national motorsport done correctly, and that’s why it achieves capacity grids for the vast majority of its race series.

If it was televised or of higher profile, there’s a fair chance the club would be bemoaned for a number of contrived regulations. Instead, all of its categories run as series and not championships, so there’s not dogged title fights. Race winners are slapped with 30-second penalties which can, and do, turn an obvious race result on its head. But, for club competitors, that’s on the money.

It means many have a chance of winning, and dialling back the competitive stakes means the CSCC enjoys some of the cleanest driving standards in UK motorsport.

Add in 45-minute races plus reasonable entry fees and it starts to look like good value. Diverse grids of Porsches, Lotuses, TVRS and more means there’s plenty for spectators too.
