Welcome to South Hams Motor Club

The South Hams Motor Club has its roots firmly in club level motorsport. Over the last 40+ years the club has established a great reputation for promoting motorsport in the southwest of England. Geographically, the club “footprint” lies along the A38 Expressway and between Torbay and Plymouth.

We do of course have members from outside the area but mainly we live within the “South Hams”. The club meets at different pubs on a social basis and there is a monthly committee meeting where the forthcoming events are planned.

There is always something going on whether it is a Scalextric Grand Prix or National Rally – you just have to join in – we are a friendly bunch! "Gymkhanas" are always popular as a "grass roots" event held in a field during the summer... EXCEPT for Ken Block who has his own definition - click on the right thumb to watch his latest video!

Major events that the club has organised over the years include:

TSH stages (Sealed surface rally)
Kynaston Auto Services stages (Sealed surface rally)
Newton Abbot Audi Stages (forest rally)
Harvest Rally renamed 2011 -The Guy Fawkes rally (navigation)
Nightmare Rally (navigation)
Orchard Properties Gravel Sprint (forest stage – driver only)
Autocross
AudiSouthWest South West Endurance Rally (endurance rally)
Sprints
Test day at Smeatharpe

Pictures from the above and many other Southwest events can be seen at RallyPhoto.co.uk.

Despite modern technology (internet website), our club magazine “The Chequered Flag” is still the backbone of the club – this is sent out monthly with details of what’s going on – socially and competitively.

How to start rallying
Vintage Car Insurance
Car Modding Insurance

Ready to get started?
Rallying is one of the most enduring forms of motorsport. It is man and machine pitched against the elements and is consistently one of the most spectacular branches of the sport. For the purpose of this feature, we will focus on special stage rallying as this is clearly the most popular type of rallying, although there are other rallying disciplines available.

Here are some of the best ideas to try out
If you’re about to buy a vintage car – Take the Triumph TR series for example, first released in 1953 and discontinued in 1981 having had 10 different models. But for each new model that was released they were all widely regarded as not being as good as the original TR2. So if you bought a TR7 it would be more expensive to insure and still not as good as the TR2. On paper the TR7 may look better, but the TR2 is known to be the best of the series.

Keeping the premium affordable
Car insurance premiums can be affordable for the ‘average’ driver, but once the insurers step outside of their comfort zone you usually find that their requirements, and therefore your premium, will increase. So whilst fitting extras to your car to mod it up, whether aesthetically or performance related, will inevitably make your car insurance go up. But all is not lost, as there are ways to mod your car whilst keeping the premium affordable, and here are some top tips for the best ways to do so.
