Club History
Newry & District Motor Club dates back to the early 1930's and its aims are to promote and develop motor sport in the general area. The club is one of the longest established in Northern Ireland and has a selection of trophies which date back to those early days when motor racing took place at Cranfield Aeordrome and the Irish Experts Trials took place in the border region.
Today the club's focus is Navigation Rallies, Stage Rallies and Hill Climbs. The Irish Experts Trial has evolved into the Mourne Rally, a challenging 100% tarmac event that is both a round of the ANICC and Border Championships. The historical Spelga Hill Climb is no more but has moved to a new hill at Gilford and is now called the Drumhorc Hill Climb. The Circuit of Down Navigation Rally uses some of the most challenging roads in the country and is an excellent event for both experts and new starts to the sport. Our Gullion Stages Rally, also 100% tarmac, is a beginners stage rally aimed at new competitors and low budget clubmen.
