"Sadly, 2023 marks the end of an era for the Club after
70 glorious years of track racing. Like several other one-make
clubs, the Club has been unable to stem the tide of rising circuit
hire costs and car preparation costs and diminishing race entries,
all leading to the inescapable reality that circuit racing is
no longer viable for the Club". 231030

Ending
MG Car Club motor racing events
There was reluctant but general agreement of Council members
representing their CRBs at the recent Council meeting in October
2023 to the decision that the Club shall cease planning, arranging
and holding race meetings because of the serious financial risks
involved and the uncertainties over race entries in recent seasons.
This was agreed by a vote at the Council meeting. A suggested
alternative of holding the Club's major annual event with only
activities inside the Silverstone circuit will not be affordable
for the Club because of the high circuit hire charges for the
weekend. So there will be no MGLive! 2024 at Silverstone.
An Inter-Club International event at Malvern in 2024 is
being planned. More news on that event will be available in
the New Year. More
