The Rushmoor Targa Rally, originally planned for November 8th 2020, has had to be cancelled because of Covid-19 restrictions.
The Committee is reviewing various options for a replacement event – probably not a Targa – and we will share any news asap (paid up Club members will be the first to hear).

Sadly, we have to announce the cancellation of this year’s Autumn Antics, because of additional, C-19 related, venue restrictions placed upon us by the Landowners.

With sadness, the Committee announces the cancellation of our Sprint Royale event which was due to take place on 4th October.
Despite the best endeavours of the Organising Team, the restrictions imposed by the landowners have sealed the event’s fate.

Regulations and Entry Form for the SCC Autosolo at Kempton Park on 11th October are on the SCC website here.
One of the major growth areas in club level motorsport is AutoSOLOs. In the past few years, the level of interest among competitors has soared and all the signs are that the discipline is set to gain further in popularity. For anyone who has never heard the term, imagine an Autotest but with no reversing needed in any of the tests – except, perhaps, if you overdo the spirited driving bit.
The primary reasons for the growth are that AutoSOLOs offer a lot of in-car competition time, and most important in these cash-strapped times, they are very good value for money. You also get the chance to practice driving skills that can hold you in good stead in normal road driving.
Southern Car Club will be organising two of these events in 2020. The dates to mark in your diaries are Sunday 31st May 2020 and Sunday 11th October 2020. Both will be held at Kempton Park horse race course in Surrey and interest in the events is such that we have already applied to and been accepted as rounds of the ACSMC AutoSOLO Championship. Further details on how to enter will become available nearer the date. One of the main requirements of AutoSOLOs is that participants do a stint as marshals in between their competitive runs. This rule alleviates some of the problems of getting marshals but additional marshals for the day will be welcomed with open arms.
