The BARC North Western Centre takes the keys of it's new Rescue Unit for it's first meeting in March 2018. After fourteen years of exemplary service the previous Rescue Unit has been retired.
This popular competition has been suspended this year as a result of Covid-19 guidelines in Motor Sport. It is hoped that it will be re-introduce next year, perhaps in a revised format.
We are now well into this truncated season having run our first meeting on the 12th September. Our next meeting is again in Oulton Park on the 31st October.
The Championship is now into the closing stages, with only one double header left, in Oulton Park on the 31st October. Paul Woolfitt won both races on the 12th September but with another two class wins Jamie Cryer remains in the overall championship lead.
Welcome to the North Western Centre site. The Centre promotes a very successful Sports/Saloon Championship and provides marshalling, officiating and Rescue Unit opportunities within the North West and further afield. Full details can be found within this site.
