The ultimate MG competition experience must surely be MG racing. Members of the MG Car Club have a unique opportunity to compete in grids comprised only of MGs in the Victorian Motor Racing series.

MG Racers are diverse breed. Our youngest competitors have been in their teens and our oldest in his seventies. Some competitors build and maintain their own cars, while others barely know how to hold a spanner. We have however, a common bond - our passion for MG Racing.

This bond results in a high level of co-operation between drivers - both on and off the track. If someone has a problem there is usually a queue of fellow MG enthusiasts offering help, advice and spares.

MG Racing has been part of the Victorian Motor Racing Championship, this year known as the Victorian State Circuit Racing Championship, since the mid 1980's when a group of MGCC members approached CAMS to request our own MG-only grids at the State Race Series. CAMS along with the promoters of the time agreed to give us a chance and the rest is history. Each year since then, and this year, we all still enjoy the opportunity to race with our mates in a safe and enjoyable MG-only environment where the most important aspect of the racing is to have fun at high speed in the close company of our fellow MG racers.

MG Racing conducts an annual racing competition, within the VMRC, conducted by CAMS. The competition and its point score system is such that any car or driver can win MG Racing's premier trophy, the MG Road Racing Championship Trophy.

Most importantly, MG Racing provides spirited competition on the race track between a group of dedicated enthusiasts who have great respect for each other and their cars. We represent the MG motto of "Safety Fast" … we also passionately believe that racing improves the breed.

If you want to become an MG Racer, perhaps the best way to get involved is to attend a few race meetings, wander around the pits, introduce yourself and ask questions of MG Racers (go to Coming Events for a list of forthcoming MG Races). Like most MG owners, unless they are frantically preparing a car for the next race, they would be more than happy to talk about themselves and their cars.

MG Racing holds regular meetings following each race meeting, which you are more than welcome to attend. Click here for a list of forthcoming events involving the Racing Register. MG Racing also has a mentor system to encourage and assist new racers to obtain a licence and prepare the car for racing.

For most of us there is a narrow window of opportunity to go racing: be bold, you owe it to yourself to get on the track and experience the adrenalin rush!
