Motor Club vs Automobile associations vs Car club Categories of rallies Sports club Club (organization)

In the UK and the Republic of Ireland the Motor Clubs represent the smallest unit of motorsport organisation. In the UK the motor clubs join into associations and sports groups, which are governed by Motor Sports Association. In the Republic of Ireland motor clubs are governed by Motorsport Ireland.

In Ireland, Motor Clubs are typically registered as limited companies, and ran by a board of directors.

Activities

The motor clubs provide a place for competitors, officials, marshals, and enthusiasts to meet up, share experience, participate in events, and help new competitor start ups at grassroots level. The club committees run social and competition events for members, larger clubs organize national rounds of motorsport championships.

Anybody looking to become involved in motorsports is urged "find and join your local motor club." Have a look at what types of events clubs near you run, and get in touch with one who runs a discipline you are interested in; many clubs hold social nights or ask if you can go along to an event to find out more about what they do. https://www.gomotorsport.net/New-Get-Involved/Find-and-Join-a-Motor-Club

New members are always welcome at the club and you will find our current group is a friendly bunch of people, who share a common interest and have years of experience in all forms of motorsport.

Not only do active members compete in all forms of motor sport, but also a motor club highly active in the organisation and running of events, and are known throughout the country as being a motor club prepared to assist others, in many essential capacities. https://www.craven-motor-club.co.uk/aboutus

Membership

To join a motor club involves yearly membership fee, needed to run the club. In return the members get exposure to clubs senior members for advise, opportunities to participate in the events. Some clubs offer discounts to motorsport merchandise and retail chains, magazine subscriptions, and event tickets. https://www.motorsportuk.org/Membership/Join-Us

ALMC Ltd
Founded1963 (1963)
Region
Dublin, Meath, Westmeath, Kildare, Fingal, Louth
LeaderNoel Devlin
Websitewww.almc.ie

The club was founded in 1963 by a number of motorsport enthusiasts who worked at Dublin Airport and the club was originally known as Aer Lingus Motor Club. In early 1982 the club became a Limited Company and the name was changed to ALMC.

In those early years the club ran Autocrosses, Navigation Rallies and Social events and gained a reputation for good organisation and running enjoyable, affordable, non-car breaking events. Within a few years as these events grew in popularity and stature, membership was opened up to non-employees. The annual subscription in 1966 was ten shillings or 63c in todays money !! Membership was drawn mainly from Dublin City & County and Counties Meath and Louth, as most of the club’s events were run in these areas.

In 1966 the club (in conjunction with the MG Car Club) ran its first series of Rally Navigation Classes which became so popular in following years, that by 1978 numbers had to be restricted to 50 participants.

Many famous rally competitors have been long time club members such as, in former years drivers David Yeates, John Coyne, John Farrell and up to the present National Championship contender Michael Barrable. Navigators/Co-drivers include Ronan Morgan, Frank O’Donoghue, Christy Farrell, Joe Ffrench, Rea Inglis, Don Foley, Ted Gaffney, Vincent Fagan.

Our longest serving club member from the sixties, former Chairman and long time committee member, competitor and organiser is Chris McNally. Chris is a renowned navigator/co-driver and over the last 40 years has competed on all types of events in Ireland, Europe and the USA.

In the sixties and into the seventies, rallies were a mixture of navigation and loose surface forestry sections with the emphasis on navigation. Aer Lingus MC ran events such as the ‘Bunny Run’, ‘Try-out’, ‘Canbog’ and ‘Jumbo Rally’ the latter being a round of the National Irish Championship. In 1978 the National Championship was divided into a separate navigation and stages series.

In 1974 Aer Lingus MC organised the first Bellurgan “Mountaincross” which was really a single stage forestry rally with local resident John Coyne as C.O.C.

In subsequent years the Mountaincross was run on a tarmac road section (single stage rally format) in the Cooley Peninsula and was the forerunner of the first ALMC Multistage Rally in 1984 out of the Ballymascanlon Hotel with John Carroll as C.O.C. John was C.O.C of our Stages Rally for 10 consecutive years from 1984 to 1993 where the rally was run in the Louth/Meath area (except 1988 when it was based in Wicklow).

In 1994, Ian O’Flynn was C.O.C of the ‘Drogheda 800’ Stages and in 1995 Ian was in charge again with a Drogheda based event. The ALMC Stages Rally was a round of the National Stages Rally Championship for most of the years from 1987 to 1999 and was also a round of the Border Championship from 1991 to 1997.

In 1996 the Stages Rally moved to new territory in Co.Laois and the Montague Hotel Stages Rally with new C.O.C Noel Devlin in charge of the Rally. It was a big success and with the support of the area Tourism Board and business interests this raised the profile of the rally and the Club’s stature to a new level. In the following three years the successful format was repeated with Noel as C.O.C in ’97, Pat O’Connor in’98 and Ian O’Flynn in ’99.

For the Millenium year 2000 Noel returned as C.O.C to run the most ambitious and biggest event ever undertaken in the Club’s history. The ‘Dunlop Rally of Ireland’ was a two-day rally based in Tallaght with stages in Counties Dublin, Wicklow and Laois.

After a brief gap following the Foot and Mouth crisis of 2001 the club moved back to its natural home of Sheet 13, (County Meath and the North East to those who don’t remember ½ inch maps) to run a one day stages rally in County Meath headquartered at the Oasis Hotel in Carrickmacross. October saw the final autocross at Murphy’s Quarry in Balbriggan.

2003 saw a move to the Lakeside Manor Hotel for three successful rallies run by Ian O’Flynn and later John Carroll. 2007 was a big year for the Club, having been granted a one-off additional mini stages rally in January by Motorsport Ireland run out of the City North Hotel, with scrutiny and service at Murphy’s Quarry. This event went so well the July stages event was relocated there as well whilst club members Tim McNulty and Michael Barrable battled out at the top of the Tarmac Championship and National Championship tables respectively. James Cassidy and Lisa Roe took home the Class 12 trophies in the Dunlop National Championship.

ALMC ran many successful events from the CityNorth Hotel, including multiple Stages Rallies, Autotests and Charity Motor Shows, using much of Meath and occasional trips across the Boyne into County Louth. Indeed, the Motor Club celebrated its 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner at the CityNorth, bringing guests and VIP's from all over the country.

In 2013, the decision was taken to move the Rally and HQ to a different part of the Royal County, with the HQ relocated to Dunboyne, and Special Stages in the immediate area, and Service Area in Donboyne itself. For the first time in a few years, the Club ran a Ceremonial Start, and as a now established round of the REIS/MSA Rally Championship and the Midlands East Rally Championship, the Rally was a great success.

In 2014, the Rally and Club events moved to it's current home of Trim, and with a new HQ at the Castle Arch Hotel, the Rally and Motor Club continue to go from strength to strength, with the awarding of the 2016 Triton National Rally Championship Round to the ALMC. Coupled with a large entry of UK based competitors for 2016, the ALMC Stages Rally promises to be one of the best events of the year.

I.M.R.C. "IRISH MOTOR DERBY" CORK INTERNATIONAL CAR RACES MEETING, 1938

AS has already been announced, Saturday, April 23rd, 1938, has been inscribed on the International Sporting Calendar as the Irish Free

State's motor-racing fixture On this date, The Irish Motor Racing Club will, with the co-operation of the Cork and District Motor Club, promote the Cork International Car Races Meeting. Thanks to the public spirited and generous action of Mr. Joseph McGrath, Managing Director of the Irish Hospitals Trust, the event will be one of outstanding, and so far as these countries are concerned, unprecedented importance. Mr. McGrath will present the entire prize fund and give a most generous contribution to the cost of organisation, the balance of which is being locally subscribed in Cork. The meeting will consist of three races : a 200 mile race under the new International Formula, to be known as the Cork Grand Prix ; a formula free race of seventy-five miles or thereabouts for cars not exceeding ii-litres, which will probably be called the Cork International Light Car Race—both of which will, of course, be scratch events ; and a fifty mile handicap, confined to entries of racing and sports-cars from Great Britain and Ireland and to be known as the Cork National Motor Handicap. Prize money for these three events has been fixed as follows :— Cork Grand 1,500 c.c. National Prix Race Handicap 1st 2nd 3rd £1,000 £500 000 £250 £150 £100 £100 £50 L35

A HOME-BUILT SPECIAL

A large number of readers are interested in home-constructed special cars and we learn that Laurence Allen has such a car in course of construction. It has a 1925-6 big-port 12-50 h.p. Alvis engine in a Riley " Redwing " chassis, the chassis having been built up of spare parts at a very moderate cost—bits of it date back to 1923. The final drive ratio is 4 to 1 and, as 4.75' x 19' tyres are being used, quite a " 30/98 " effect should be obtained. The engine now has two horizontal S.U. carburetters replacing the original single carburetter and a twenty thousandth solid copper gasket to obtain an increase of compression ratio. A new exhaust system will be necessary. The engine has been very carefully re-assembled, big end and main bearings re-metalled and the crankshaft re-ground. The head was lapped to the block with extreme care—three weeks of spare time work. Mr. Allen, with the aid of his brother, has done all the work in the home workshop, so far only calling in outside assistance in turning out a flange in the flywheel, which would not fit their lathe. The car should be on the road by next March. It is temporarily called an Allen Special because the builders have been unable to think of any suitable name repeatable in polite


society ! Suggestions are invited. 4th L100 L75 £15 5th £50 6th £25

and L50 for best performance by 1,100 c.c. car.

It is intended that there should be three practising sessions and since all three races could not be conveniently run on one day, it is proposed that the Handicap Race and final practising for the 1,500 c.c. and Grand Prix cars should take place on the afternoon of Friday, 22nd April, 1938. All arrangements for that afternoon will be on the same stale as for the following day's racing and there will probably be a charge for admission to the various stands and enclosures. In addition to the Handicap Race, the proceedings will be in the nature of a full dress rehearsal of the organisation for Saturday.

The Cork Grand Prix will be one of the first races to be held under the new racing formula. The Irish Motor Racing Club has already made tentative contacts. with some of the Continental racing teams. and has had assurances of their intention to compete in Cork. The promoters have every hope, not only that Germany will be represented by Mercedes and Auto-Union, but of the appearance of the new formula Darracqs and Delahayes representing Prance. All three races wilt, of course, be run on the renowned Carrigrohane circuit, which is one of the fastest and most perfect road courses in Europe. The lap length is 6 miles 154 yards and the course is famous for its unique 2i mile dead

AN INTERESTING VETERAN

News conies to hand that Marcus Chambers wishes to dispose of his prewar Babe Peugeot and that another of these small cars has come to light on the South Coast. Peugeot made a Babe as early as 1904, but the cars in question are of the type in production from 1911 until after the War. Designed by M. Bugatti, they have 55 x90 mm. 855 c.c. T-head engines with head, block and crankcase as one unit. The wheelbase is 6' 0, and the rear suspension by re

versed quarter-elliptic springs. After the war Peugeot introduced the rather more modern " Quad" with longer wheelbase and worm final drive. Later still came the 7 h.p. Peugeot with very abbreviated track, still seen occasionally on our roads. Chambers's Babe is said to have been raced at Brooklands.

A VERY SOUND SUGGESTION

Cecil Clutton, who looks after the veteran side of the Vintage S.C.C., has suggested to Leslie Wilson, Secretary of the Midland AC., that a separate veteran class be instituted at the next Shelsley-Walsh hill-climb. Clutton, who made a tremendous ascent last meeting on his 1908 Sixty Itala, has the promise of at least seven entries of over 7-litre cars, including R. Cl. J. Nash (Lorraine

level straight, the perfect non-skid surface of which was widened from 21 to 30 feet before last season's Cork Car Race. Some idea of the speeds which the Grand Prix cars may attain on this circuit may be gathered from the fact that the lap record stands at 92.08 m.p.h. (C. E. C. Martin-2,904 c.c. Alfa-Romeo). The course will be still further improved for

the coming races. The PoulavoneCarrigrohane Castle section, which is the only portion of the course that has not yet received special attention, is about to be widened and re-surfaced. Regulations for the meeting are in the course of preparation. They will follow the more or less standard rules of Grand Prix meetings. Pressure refuelling will, of course, be permitted. Practising will take place on Wednesday and Thursday as well as on Friday, but on the first two days probably in the early morning. Scrutiny, weighing in and examination of competitors' credentials are provisionally fixed for Tuesday afternoon. Negotiations are in progress with a view to arranging a special sailing from a convenient Continental port to Cork direct for Continental competitors and their cars as well as special steamship and railway schedules and excursion rates for spectators. General information and copies of the Regulations, when ready, may be had on application to the Secretary, The Irish Motor Racing Club, 1, Cavendish Row, Dublin, Telephone No. 44264 Dublin, Telegraphic Address : Moracing,

Dietrich), A. S. Heal (1912 10-litre Fiat), John Morris (22-litre Benz), Wike (Fiat or Daimler), Mills (1907 Renault) and the Itala.

This strikes us as a very sound suggestion. When a veteran makes a mere demonstration run the whole thing is regarded as a circus, and serious attention is lost. But pitting the old cars against themselves in a separate class with definite competition removes the " museum " aspect and allows people to appreciate these astonishing motors at their true worth. We hope Mr. Wilson will cooperate with Clutton. If not, no doubt the organisers of the Prescott hill-climbs will be interested.

PRAISE WHERE DUE

The Bugatti Owners' Club has made the extremely interesting move of fixing their three hill-climbs to be held at Prescott later this year, on Sundays—namely May 15th, July 3rd, and September 25th. This will enable competitors to practise on the Saturday preceding instead of on a week-day, and should result in greatly increased " gates." Admission charges are likely to be 2/6 with 5/transfer to certain parts and 2/6 for carparking. Prescott is about ninety miles from London. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/january-1938/35/imrc-irish-motor-derby-cork-international-car-race


PastImperfect Wed, Jul 7, 2004, 01:00 From the archives of Bob Montgomery, motoring historian

The Limerick Grand Prix:Between the years of 1935 and 1938 the City of Limerick was the scene of a series of exciting Grand Prix races. They came about when the enterprising Irish Motor Racing Club (IMRC) was urged to take advantage of strong local support for a 'round-the-houses' race in the city. Following much preparation, the IMRC announced that the first race, to be known as the Limerick Grand Prix or Cuirt Luimnighe race, would take place on Bank Holiday Monday, August 5th 1935.

The course chosen was a real street circuit measuring 2.76 miles and from its start in the city's main street, O'Connell Street, continued in a clockwise direction along William Street to the Roxborough Road, Carey's Road, down Rossbrien Road to Punch's Cross and then turned back along O'Connell Avenue and into O'Connell Street again where two chicanes were positioned. Grandstands were erected at the O'Connell Street/William Street junction and seats for spectators were also et-up beside the start/finish line.

The race was run over a distance of 151 miles (55 laps) and a fine entry of 25 cars was received for the inaugural race. Pat Fairfield in his white ERA, Luis Fontes in an Alfa Romeo - the recent winner of the Le Mans 24 Hour Race - and Fetherstonehaugh in a Maserati were the fastest cars entered while the fastest Irish drivers were expected to be Tallaght winner Jack Toohey in his Ford, MG driver Marsh in his MG and David Yule in an Austin. Flagged away by the City's Lord Mayor, Pat Fairfield went into a strong lead but believing he had the race in the bag, he slowed considerably after his pit-stop. This allowed Fontes to close right up and overtake Fairfield just 250 yards before the finish. Peter Whitehead took third in his Alta in front of ffrench-Davis in a Fiat.

The race proved a great hit with both drivers and spectators and plans were immediately put in hand for it to be run again in 1936, this time with full international status.

Run on the Bank Holiday Monday once again, the 1936 race attracted a fine entry of overseas drivers including Anthony Powys-Lybbe (Alfa Romeo), Peter Whitehead and Arthur Dobson, both in ERA's and the Siamese Prince 'Bira' in another ERA, his famous 'Remus'. On the very first lap tragedy struck when the young Duke of Grafton crashed his Bugatti at the Roxborough Road Corner. The Bugatti burst into flames trapping its driver. Dragged from the blazing Bugatti by a marshal, the Duke of Grafton was taken to hospital where he died later in the day.

The race continued, despite cars having to take to the pavement to avoid the conflagration at the scene of the accident. Bira had led from the start from Dobson but on lap 36 hit the wall at the Punch's Cross Corner. Meanwhile, Alan Hutchinson from Belfast driving an MG made the most of his handicap to come through and take the victory from Arthur Dobson and Percy Maclure (Riley).

Plans to run the race again in 1937 despite the tragedy had to be shelved due to a disagreement regarding finances between the IMRC and the local race committee and in was 1938 before the streets of Limerick again reverberated to the sound of racing engines. Although the entry was down to 17 cars, its quality was high and included Tony Rolt in an ERA, one of the top cross-channel drivers of the day. Despite being the 'limit' man, Rolt took the win with a fastest lap of 68.74 mph with R Campbell (Morgan) in second place and W A McQuillan (McQuillan Special) in third.

Financial disagreements then once again reared their head and in December 1938, IMRC announced that the races were to be abandoned and no further racing was held in Limerick. The three Limerick Grand Prix provided close and exciting racing on a tough street circuit but sadly once again financial disagreement led to their demise as had been the case with other Irish street circuits of the time. https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/motors/pastimperfect-1.1148092

MOTORSPORT IRELAND UPDATE

Organisation

[edit]

One of the big risks to motorsport in Ireland are skyrocketing insurance costs.

Motorsport Ireland has warned that the future of motor racing in the country is in doubt after an "unsustainable" insurance premium increase of over 200% over the past two years.

http://motorsportireland.com/news/18-01-24/Irish_civic_and_business_organisations_unite_to_launch_the_Alliance_for_Insurance_Reform.aspx

http://motorsportireland.com/news/18-03-06/ALLIANCE_FOR_INSURANCE_REFORM_DEMANDS_FINANCIAL_CONDUCT_AUTHORITY_TO_OVERSEE_THE_INSURANCE_INDUSTRY.aspx

https://www.rte.ie/sport/motorsport/2017/0502/871876-irish-motorsport-on-the-brink-over-soaring-insurance/

In a statement today, Motorsport Ireland CEO Alex Sinclair said the increase "has taken the sport to the brink of whether it can survive or not."

In January, the governing body of the sport in Ireland invited club delegates from all eleven of its disciplines to a meeting in Tullamore.

What was laid on the table was a 50% increase on the existing levy this year for rallying events and a 25% increase in entry fees for the remaining 10 disciplines.

As only one insurance broker offered to insure Motorsport Ireland competitors, it was a take-it-or-leave-it scenario and the governing body had postponed four events that month due to lack of insurance cover.

The clubs eventually agreed to the increase, which saved the 2017 season, but Sinclair warns that the increased costs cannot be borne in the long term.

"Like so many people in Ireland, our insurance costs have spiralled out of control over the past couple of years" said Sinclair.

"Our premium increased by 140% last year and then another 26% this year. These increases are unsustainable and almost forced us to cancel the season — there was nearly no motor sport in Ireland this year.

"We had no accidents or claims last year yet, like sports clubs, associations and consumers throughout Ireland our insurance premiums have sky-rocketed. Insurers I spoke to said it was down to high levels of awards and uncertainty they face in the Irish market.

"One London-based insurer even described it as the 'Wild West'.
