British Automobile Racing Club
Formed in 1912 as The Cyclecar Club, today the British Automobile Racing Club organises races at almost every venue in Britain, including meetings at Anglesey, Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park, Castle Combe, Croft, Donington Park, Goodwood, Knockhill, Lydden Hill, Mallory Park, Oulton Park, Pembrey, Rockingham, Silverstone, Snetterton, and of course the BARC’s home circuit, Thruxton. The Cyclecar Club - cyclecars incidentally were light fragile looking devices powered by motorcycle engines - grew quickly and organised events at Brooklands as well as rallies and touring trials on the open road. In 1919, following World War One, with cyclecars on the decline, the name was changed to The Junior Car Club. Club members owned light cars, which were defined as four seater’s weighing less than 15cwt., or two-seater’s weighing less than 13cwt.
