BDCC Special Events

Every year the Bournemouth & District Car Club annual competition starts on the 1st November and it allows our members to compete in many different types of events.

Our competitive calendar is jammed packed with something for everyone, including our show case events – The Bovington Stages and The Challenger Stages, amongst autotests/slaloms, sprints and more.

If you are unable to compete in any of the events but have any skills that may be of use, for example to be a marshal or be a passenger for autotest/slalom event then please contact the event organiser to offer your services!

You can see how you are progressing in the club’s championship by checking on the Results Page here https://www.bdcc.org.uk/event-results/

You can also see who were the winners from last year on the same page.

So why not come along and enjoy some cheap motorsport on your doorstep!
