Summary

The Scottish Motor Racing Club (SMRC) returns with a wide ranging variety of classes with top-quality racing from Scotland’s leading car racers. The SMRC events will still provide race fans with the high-octane thrill-a-minute race action they are accustomed to - featuring a 13 race event programme, preceded by the intriguing fight for pole during those all-important qualification sessions. The race action will flow throughout the day with short, sharp races for each class - with drivers racing several times over the course of the event.

This event will see around 20 BRSCC National Formula Fords combine with the Scottish Formula Ford contingent to provide a grid packed full of exceptional talent. It means the race for the David Leslie Trophy will be even more exciting as the very best from around the UK race head-to-head to win the the prestigious Trophy. David Leslie was a well-known racer throughout the motorsport world, with his achievements at Le Mans and in the British Touring Car Championship ranking him as one of the all-time great Scottish racers.

Since his passing in 2008, the David Leslie Trophy race for Formula Ford has been the feature event on the Scottish Formula Ford calendar with notable winners including Ross Martin, Ciaran Haggerty and last year's winner Logan Hannah all going on to compete at a higher level.

The DDMC Northern sports and saloons return to provide some more spectacular racing in their yearly trip north of the border. With classes that allow kit cars all the way up to 2000cc supercars that compete alongside each other, it will sure make for an incredible spectacle.

In line with current Government guidelines only a limited number of tickets are available for this event. We expect this capacity to sell-out therefore we advise to book as soon as you can.

Event Info

SMRC race days have always been great value for spectators and with our fantastic opening event for 2021 - this value will be even more evident. As well as enjoying all the thrills of qualifying, fans won’t have too long to wait for the action to kick-off on track. We’ll still manage to amass a great deal of fast-paced frenetic action into the full day of action with a jam-packed race schedule.

A limited number of fans will still be able to watch the competing series from various locations around the track, and with compact grids the action should be as spectacular as ever.

• Scottish Formula Ford Championship – Formula Fords have run in Scotland for over 50 years and is the premier single seater racing class in Scotland. These 1600cc race cars have championships across the world and provides the closest open wheeled racing in the country.

• Scottish Mini Cooper Cup – The Mini Coopers have provided the closest saloon car racing for over a decade as these identical evenly matched cars race wheel to wheel. Many drivers have successfully cut their teeth in this series and have gone on to race nationally.

• Scottish Fiesta ST Championship - A mainstay of the Scottish Motor Racing Club line up for more than 20 years, initially with XR2 race cars which spawned the likes of Ian Forrest, Rory Butcher and triple BTCC Champion Gordon Shedden. The series now consists of the Fiesta ST model powered by a 2 litre Duratec engine and offers a superb platform for newcomers and veterans alike to enjoy some healthy competition.

• The Scottish Classic Sports and Saloons Championship - Classic racing is very popular nowadays and the Classic Sports and Saloon competitors always put on a great show - whilst some of the machinery on show will take you back to the good old days... the racing is very much full-on and extremely competitive and often features classics from Porsche, MG, Lotus, Morgan and others.

• The Scottish C1 Cup - City car racing up and down the country is on the upsurge and the SMRC was one of the first clubs to introduce an introductory and cost-effective class for racers looking for a financially viable route into motorsport - the C1 Cup offers this and the racing is great fun to watch too.
