The capability of the MG Metro, Maestro and Montego is such that even in 2006, these cars are being successfully campaigned in Motorsport events throughout the country. The MG 'M' GROUP will be following these events and reporting on the highlights in our quarterly magazine - Forward! which is sent to all club members.

There are three classes in the championship featuring a diverse range of cars. In 2005 The MG Maestro Turbo held its own against some extremely fast 4WD racecars as well as a Dunlop Rover Coupe Turbo and some Mini Coopers.

The Saloon Car Championship forms part of a whole day of racing at Castle Combe. Classic 1960s and 1970s cars, older MGs, Formula Fords, Ferraris and many more can be seen racing throughout the day.

Nearer the time we will be able to post details about the time of the Saloon Car Race and details of how to meet other club members for a chat whilst waiting for the race.

All races at Castle Combe Circuit in Wiltshire. Entry costs just Ł12 for Saturday races. You get a full day's racing for this so it represents remarkable value.
