sign to lay up the classic for another year.

M-Sport Tour visit - 23 October
Some of our club members gather in the Trophy Room at Dovenby Hall
Eleven
members of the club met up at Dovenby Hall near Cockermouth for our
tour of the M-Sport facility. Our tour guide Roger Fisher took us round
the factory, building rally cars for M-Sport, Ford, privateers and
others, competing around the globe from club to WRC level.
Up close to a Ford Raptor T1, as rallied in the Dakar desert
rally is something to behold. Hurtling across the Sahara desert in this
must rate as full on extreme rallying.
Find out what goes on and where it all happens as we see powertrain
units, geaboxes and diffs being built, the new spaceframe vehicles that
meet the current and forthcoming 2027 regulations.

|
| A great evening that is a peek at what goes on behind the scenes to keep a WRC rally team in operation. |

Sneak Peek - 2026 Calendar
|
Calendar of events for 2026, for the club.
Hopefully you will find all or some of the events a
good reason to get your classic on the road and see a bit of the Scottish countryside.
We are working on other events to
add to this calendar so keep looking at our website for the latest
version of the planned calendar.
Full details and
Regs etc for CCHMSC events will appear closer to the time of each event.
|
|
We
agreed that the cost of living crisis is still a significant
issue, so for this year your club will continue to subsidise part of the setup
costs of each event, carrying on the agreement made at a previous
AGM to use our bank balance toward making motorsport more affordable,
while maintaining the features, variety and social, that members
asked we incorporate in our events.
We hope this will encourage you to bring out your classic, or modern
car, on the club tours in 2026
