About Craven Motor Club

Craven Motor Club is a long established Motor Club based in Berkshire, and in 2004 we celebrated our 50th year in motorsport!For several years Craven Motor Club have won the prestigious Cotswold Motor Sports Group's and ACSMC "Best Rally award" for our Longcross Stage Rally. This is a great honour and one of which we are very proud.

Rallying is the branch of motor sport in which the majority of our members participate. However this does not preclude others from competing in Karting, Rallycross, Sprints, Hillclimbs, PCT's, Circuit Racing and many more.Even if you do not wish to compete, there are many other skills required to run an event. There is always the need for marshals and qualified safety radio crews; getting your hands dirty by servicing, medical aid or sponsoring an event.

Did you know that there is a rally or sprint etc, almost every weekend of the year? Craven supply marshals, radio crews and officials to help run Wales Rally GB as well as other events all year round up and down the country, in all weathers.

Anyone wishing to learn more can team up with an experienced member of the Club and learn the intricacies of the job. Visit our Contacts page to find out who they are.

"Back-room" people are always required to help with the administration aspects of running an event. There are never enough of these!The club has over 150 members who take an active part in the running events and competing and we have a strong core of members who regularly compete in both modern and historic events, both at home and abroad

One of the most popular and inexpensive forms of motorsport are the Navigational Scatters, which are held approximately every 7-8 weeks. They start and finish at our Club House near Sonning.Once a year we run a grass autotest in September called the 'Spinning Wheel' where any car and driver can compete. As car control and not speed are of the essence, it always shows those who can really drive! This is very much a social event and, together with the annual dinner and other activities held throughout the year, makes for a full and varied programme of events for the Club members. Richard Burns won this event is his fathers car in 1989, before he was legal to drive on the roads.Craven Motor Club can boast of some well known 'names', both past and present, including:Richard Burns- The 2001 World Rally Champion and multiple Network Q Rally of Great Britain winner and British Rally Champion, Steve Fleck, the Get Connected Tarmac Champion of 2003,Keith Edwards, King of the Cotswolds Road Rally Champion, and LCAMC Rally Champion: Ian Donaldson, Motoring News Champion; John Cross Belgium Rallycross Champion to name but a few.

If you have interest in any form of motorsport be it rallying, circuit racing or just cars in general, then come down on a Wednesday Night where you will be made very welcome.
