The MG Owners’ Club Race Championship is gearing up for its 2026 season. One of the longest running championships to be affiliated with the British Automobile Racing Club – the single-marque series enters into its 46th year on track with an exciting calendar.

This season, championship promoter Jim Baynam drove to both class and overall honours in his decorated MGB. With Jim stepping back from a full campaign in 2026, this leaves the door wide open for a new champion to make their mark.

The championship is open to all Morris Garages (MG) machines – with a home for many of the cult British classics. From the MGA, B and C models, Midgets, Maestros, Metros, ZF and ZR – there is a class for them all. And with the way the points scoring works, all cars have a shot at the overall laurels too.

In 2026, the championship starts on the opening BARC weekend of the season once again in March at Donington Park, before a return to Cadwell Park. Other classic circuits include Brands Hatch, Oulton Park and Snetterton with the finale once again at the home of British motorsport.

Headlining the summer season for the MG Owners’ Club Race Championship is the Thruxton Retro meeting which in 2025 had 42 cars enter the event – the biggest single grid the club has had in 45 years.
