#BARC

The British Automobile Racing Club is one of the largest and most influential motorsport organisations in the United Kingdom, with a history spanning more than a century. Originally founded in 1912 as the Cyclecar Club, it became the Junior Car Club in 1919 and adopted its current name in 1949. Over the decades, the BARC has been instrumental in shaping British motorsport, organising some of the country's most prestigious races and championships. Today, the BARC is responsible for running over 35 championships and more than 60 race meetings each year across a wide range of venues. These include circuits it owns or manages directly, such as Thruxton, Croft, and Pembrey, as well as hill climb courses like Gurston Down and Harewood. The club also plays a key role in coordinating major national and international events, including the British Touring Car Championship through its collaboration with TOCA Ltd. Historically, the BARC has been linked with landmark events such as the Goodwood Easter Monday meetings and 9-Hour endurance races. It has also been central to the development of British racing talent and the promotion of motorsport at every level, from grassroots club events to world-class championships. With a strong presence in both England and abroad, including an affiliate in Ontario, Canada, the BARC remains a cornerstone of the UK racing scene. https://www.barc.net
