About Us
The
Orkney Motor Club, founded in 1986 is the most northerly RAC Motor Club in
the UK. The
OMC has run predominantly Autocross and Autotest events for the past 21 years
on the Mainland of the Orkney Islands, off the North coast of Scotland. For
more information on the Orkney Islands, please visit
Orkney's Official Tourism website.
The
Orkney Motor Club 2014 season has 11 fixtures arranged,
all of which are
Autotests and are to be held at Caldale
Camp site, just outside the main town of Kirkwall. The
site was an airship base during the Second World War and is provided by kind
permission of the current landowner, Mr Brian Laughton.
Autotesting is
one of the cheapest forms of Motorsport available in the UK, and entries
in the Orkney Motor Club events can be made from the age of 15 (please refer
to
rules and regulations). Autotest is an
exciting sport for competitors on all levels and with entry costs some of
the lowest in the country, you could enter your first event with the OMC
for as little as £19 including membership (£10 per event thereafter).
Orkney Motor Club Autotest events begin with scrutineering and practice
from 1200hrs, and timed runs start at 1300hrs.
If you want to come and see an Orkney Motor Club event, check
the fixtures list and make use of our directions
and map. We recommend that you check
the fixtures list the morning of the event before setting off in case the
event is cancelled (this will be indicated in red letters next to the fixture).
Remember - Motorsport can be dangerous. Despite the organisers taking all
reasonable precautions, unavoidable accidents can happen. In respect of these
you are present at your own risk. The Orkney Motor Club operates in accordance
with the RACMSA rules and regulations and Club supplimentary
regulations.
