The racing club with a new vision for 2020

It hasn't all been smooth sailing for the British Racing & Sports Car Club in recent seasons but, with a new management team in place and a number of fresh ideas in the pipeline, the club is positive about the future

Fifty-seven cars. As an average number of entries for a championship across a season, that's a very impressive figure. And out of all 177 English categories, the 57-car average for the British Racing & Sports Car Club's Mazda MX-5 Championship (for the Mk1 model of the popular Japanese sportscar) was the highest last year.

But the BRSCC also featured at the bottom of those tables as the five-car average for its Fiesta Junior championship was the lowest. In all, six of its classes featured grid numbers in single digits at times during 2019, and that contrast between great successes and disappointing struggles has typified the club in recent seasons.
