General Information
This Centre of the British Automobile Racing Club has existed since the end of the Second World War, and has organised many different types of competitive motor sport. Over the years, we have successfully run:
- Driving Tests

- Kart Meetings
- Road Rallies
- Stage Rallies
- Autocross events
- Sprints
- Motor Races at several different Circuits
For many years, we were responsible for running one of the premier stages on what was then known as the Lombard RAC Rally.
Historically, our Race Meetings have included rounds of the following high profile Championships :-
- The British Open Trophy
- Formula 5000
- The Gold Cup
- Thundersports
Nowadays, this Centre runs Race Meetings at the Oulton Park and
Anglesey Circuits, and together with the use of other regional circuits, we organise the sports/saloon championshipwhich attracts considerable interest amongst racing fans in the North West of Britain.

In the early years, the Chairmanship of the Centre changed annually, but in 1959, Mr. H.M. "Jock" Sinclair took the Chair, and began the work which has shaped the North Western Centre into the dynamic region of the BARC which it is today, organising Race Meetings and a well supported and closely contended regional Championship.
Since "Jock", there have been three other Chairmen; Ken Mitchell, Dave Blundell and the present incumbent, Ray Sumner.
There is also a Social side to the Centre, with a Christmas Social and our annual Dinner and Dance; "The Real Night Out!" Keep an eye on our Calendar section for more details of these dates and venues etc.
