SPORTS & CLASSIC SECTION
It’s not all about the competition at the Midland Automobile Club, as the MAC is home to a vibrant touring and social scene, offering wonderful opportunities for members and their passengers to take to the road with fellow enthusiasts, exploring the great roads of the UK and further afield.
Exploring hidden roads...
The Sports & Classic section of the MAC organise three to four runs every year which are non-competitive, highly social and great fun! From one-day runs, to longer tours, with simple navigational instructions provided, these events are growing rapidly in popularity year on year, allowing MAC members in their cars access to unique locations and to traverse hidden gems of roads.
A Road for Every Ride:
MAC's Open Sports & Classic Car Community
The Sports & Classic section of the MAC is just that, open to any sports car including contemporary machines, and encompassing the whole classic car spectrum; from Anglia to Focus, GTV to ZT, the relatively mundane to the exotic and all in between, all welcome to take to the road with the MAC.
GET INVOLVED...
From country houses, trips to the continent, to simply just exploring great roads with pleasurable company, make sure you fully take advantage of your MAC membership and join in by keeping track of MAC tours which’ll be listed below.

UPCOMING EVENTS
The Sports & Classics team has been (and continues to be) busy with the planning of the tour to be included in the 125 Celebrations on Saturday 26th September. The route will include the four hills initially used by the Midland Automobile Club before being offered the track at Shelsley Walsh. Adjustments are still to be made but the route will be approximately 110 miles, starting from three start points in the Teme Valley before returning to Shelsley Walsh. Entry details for the 125 Celebrations are now on the web site. On this occasion, the Sorts & Classics tour is open to all vehicles.
An early date for the 2027 calendar is Sunday 18th April when it is hoped to re-run the Bala Reliability Trial, first run in 1907.
We are also looking at a possible break in Westmorland in July. More details will be available in due course.
