Putting the Sport into Your Motoring
Welcome to one of the largest and most active motor clubs in the country.

- December Competitor Of The Month – Rob Swann, Steve McNulty & Neil Beaumont
The Rixy stages held at the Stanford Training Area (STANTA) in Norfolk was a happy hunting ground for most SCMC members. Rob Swann & Steve McNulty won the event for the third year in a row with their Fiesta WRC and they were chased all day by Darrell Taylor in his Fiesta R5 Rally 2. Neil Beaumont claimed a very respectable 6th overall in his Mitsubishi Evo 8. Unfortunately, Mark Fisher and Peter Spalding had further bad luck with master cylinder issues reducing their ability to slow down, so they sensibly decided to retire.
Our chairman continues his adventures with sporting trials his Sabson, finishing an excellent 2nd in class at the The Plum Pudding Shakedown Trial in deepest Hampshire over the Christmas holidays.
The Goodwood Stages in early December saw SCMC members put in strong performances with many making big improvements on their seeding, results below
Ryan Stutchbury/Darren Stutchbury 8th o/all 5th in class
David Martin/Adam Taylor 13th o/all 7th in class
Paul Garraway/Ben Garraway 15th o/all 1st in class
Pete Wilkins/Caroline Brampton 40th o/all 8th in class
John Mills/Sharon Mills 39th o/all 7th in class
Well done to all SCMC members.
- November Competitor Of The Month – Sean & Colin Quigley and Scott & Darren Stutchbury
Sean & Colin had a very successful November, firstly repeating last years overall win on the Challenger Stages at Bovington and then mixing it with the Protyre Circuit Rally Championship regulars at the Tegiwa Donington Rally and finishing 3rd o/all.
Scott & Darren had a fantastic result at the Castle Combe stages finishing 12th o/all in their Clio from a start number of 39. Heavy rain made conditions tricky, but Scott & Darren held it together claiming family bragging rights with Ryan finishing 16th o/all.
David Martin had also been setting some great times in his 205 but a
broken driveshaft put an end to his day.
SCMC members were well represented on the Challenger Stages with Richard Seal finishing an excellent 7th o/all. Other club member results included Scott & Darren Stutchbury 26th , Tony & Ben Perrett 41st, Pete Wilkins & Caroline Brampton 48th & John & Sharon Mills 58th.
Unfortunately, John Peck and the Garraway’s had bad luck and didn’t finish the event.
- September Competitor Of The Month – Declan Dear
Declan together with his driver Matthew Hirst repeated last year’s victory on the Trackrod rally in their Skoda R5 taking the win by 16 seconds. The route took in some classic Yorkshire forest stages including Dalby & Cropton. Can they make it 3 in a row next year?
- August Competitor Of The Month – Mark Fisher & Peter Spalding
Mark & Peter’s luck finally changed after a series of non-finishes. Mark & Peter are regular visitors to Bala Motor Club’s Gareth Hall Memorial Rally at the Trawsfynydd Ranges in the Snowdonia National Park. Those who know the venue will know it’s not for the faint hearted, so their 27th o/all 6th in class was a great result. Well done both.
- June Competitor Of The Month – Darrell Taylor
June was a very busy month for Darrell, with events on 3 consecutive weekends. June started with a 2nd in the very competitive C18 class at our own Abingdon Carnival sprint and followed that up the day after by winning the Carnival stages outright with Steve McNulty co-driving. The following weekend saw a trip to Anglesey for the Menai Stages with 3rd o/all and a further trip north for the Argyll Stages the weekend after.
It was great to see so many members entered for both the sprint and rally over the Abingdon Carnival weekend. Results for all members can be seen on the Abingdon Carnival website https://abingdoncarnival.com/
Outside of Abingdon, Angelica Fuentes wheeled out Maurice the #minisprint for an outing at the Brooklands Museum Double 12 Auto Tests. An excellent morning saw Angelica lying 2nd o/all at lunchtime but a couple of test errors resulted in a 9 o/all finish at the end of the day.
