Welcome to the Launceston and North Cornwall Motor Club Website

Although best known for its Tamar and Launceston Classic Road Trials, which attract entrants from all over the country, Launceston and North Cornwall Motor Club also extends a very warm welcome to those finding their way into the world of motorsport with a series of ‘non-damaging’ Summer field trials which enable pretty much anyone, including children, to have a go at competitive driving using pretty much any kind of car or motorcycle. The emphasis is on inclusion and fun.

Seasoned competitors with specialist cars can also take part in three championship-level Sporting Trials, while occasional car road runs and motorcycle trail rides are also organised by the club, which has been running for over 100 years.

Events are held at a variety of venues in East Cornwall and West Devon. Volunteer marshals are always welcome, with training and support given.
