Scottish Motor Sport Clubs
Not all the Clubs mentioned here are strictly Scottish. Some are very much UK Clubs. However, individual members of the Veterans of Scottish Motorsport Association have been associated with one or more of these Clubs. Some have been solely involved in particular aspects of the sport such as SMRC with racing, but others have supported such varied activities as autotests, rallies, trials, sprints, hill climbs, etc. Car clubs have certainly been the backbone of the Motorsport scene since the onset of the sport in Scotland, and although a few have had professional managers, virtually all have been run by dedicated unpaid individuals. With the ever changing nature of the sport some of these clubs, regrettably, are no longer active.
**More information can be had from the website of those clubs whose name are underlined , and who are still active.

"EC" was founded in Ballater in the Scottish Sporting Car Club's Highland Three Day Rally in 1953 by a group of Lanarkshire Car Club members. The original team of three cars consisted of the late Ian Brown and Alex White in an H.R.G. - George Parker, Stuart Parker and Eric Dymock in an Austin Atlantic - Mairi Cooper (now Parker) and Heather Fleming in a Ford Anglia. Many well known competitors were invited to join the Ecurie after that - it is still going strong after 50+ years! |

Royal Scottish Automobile Club Regrettably the RSAC, as we knew it, no longer exists having been closed in 2002. However, their headquarters in Blythswood Square has now been coverted into a beatiful boutique hotel, which has incorporated Scottish Motorsport as a theme throughout. Have a look at the new "Blythswood Hotel". Although the RSAC is now defunct, its function as the body responsible for Motor Sport authorisation on behalf of the MSA has been taken over by RSAC Motorsport Ltd .

Club Secretary - Mrs G Edwards, Birch House, Duncrievie ----------------------------------------- Formed in 1937 as the Scottish Racing Drivers Club, the SCOTTISH MOTOR RACING CLUB as it was known from the 40’s has a chequered history. Early attempts by the Club to establish a racing circuit in Scotland failed, the original idea being to build one in The Royal Park adjoining Edinburgh’s Holyrood Palace. It wasn’t until the 50’s that the first car race meeting was run in Beveridge Park, Kirkcaldy. Club activities were suspended in 1956 but the SCOTTISH MOTOR RACING CLUB (SMRC) amalgamated with the well supported Border Motor Racing Club (BMRC) in 1963. They had run the Scottish National Speed Championship in the 50’s, which had been won by Jim Clark. He went on to be F1 World Motor Racing Champion twice, in 1963 and in 1965, won the Indianapolis 500 in 1965, as well as being President of the SMRC for several years, until his untimely death at Hockenheim in Germany in 1968. The B.M.R.C. Trophy, which was won by Jim in 1957, is still awarded on an annual basis by SMRC for the Overall Points Championship. Jackie Stewart became the Club's Honorary President after winning the first of his 3 F1 World Championships in 1969, and remained so until retiring from the position in 2007 whereupon he was installed as Patron of the Club. He was replaced as Honorary President by ex-Toyota F1 and current Audi Sports Car Driver, Allan McNish. The Club's Honorary Members include F1 Driver, David Coulthard, Indy 500 Winner, Dario Franchitti, twice BTCC Champion, John Cleland and legendary journalist and writer, Graham Gauld, who is also a member of the V.S.M.A. The Club ran race meetings at Charterhall in the 60’s and organised Ingliston’s first race meeting in 1965. The Club went on to run the majority of its races there in the 70’s and 80’s. From the late 80’s through to the present day Knockhill has been the venue for Club race meetings in Scotland. In the last few years many SMRC race classes have also raced at Croft, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park and other circuits in England. In December each year the Annual Dinner and Awards Presentation is one of the most prestigious events in Scotland for any sport and regularly has over 300 Club Members and their friends attending a glittering occasion in the company of the Scottish motor racing stars like Allan McNish, Dario Franchitti and David Coulthard. In 2010 the Club will be honoured with the presence of the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond. The SMRC has members from all over the UK and around the world and welcomes both Social and Racing Members to join Scotland's only motor racing club.
