This Club prides itself on its high-profile Stage, Targa and Regularity Rally events – and is securing its future with Streetcar and grassroots motorsport

Formula One has a champagne celebration; the Indy 500 winner drinks milk; but for the Knutsford and District Motor Club’ s Tour of Cheshire every finisher is given a‘ round’ of the county’ s famous Cheese to toast their success.

The Tour of Cheshire is well-respected daytime historic Regularity Rally and is one of three major Club events during the year, alongside the Plains Rally – a high-profile round of the British Historic Championship run on gravel roads through the Welsh forests – and the Knutsford Targa – the British Trial & Rally Drivers Association( BTRDA) Targa Rally of the Year for the last two years.

The Club, which was founded in 1958 and continues to boast a healthy membership of around 150, thrives on these three events but its Chairman, Mike Lawson, is acutely aware that a continuous stream of new members is needed to keep these events going into the future.

To achieve that, the Club has focused significant attention on less intensive competition events – such as Autotests, Navigational Scatters and Production Car Trials – which can be entered and enjoyed by a wider range of people, with the recent introduction of StreetCar helping to accelerate the appeal.
