Brecon Motor Club will organise and promote the Gremlin Historic Road Rally. An Interclub Status Historic Road Rally held on May 11th & 12th 2024. The Interclub event will be a round of the 2025 Motorsport News HRCR Clubman’s Road Rally Championship. There will also be a Clubman’s rally.

Welcome to the Fourth running of the Old Forge Garage Gremlin Historic Rally, last year we learnt a lot of lessons and hopefully we will once again be able to provide you with a good enjoyable challenge. Brian and Tim Dennis of Old Forge Garage are once againgenerously sponsoring the rally, a relationship that started way back in the mid 1970s and has endured to this day. We plan to run approximately 110 miles of regularity and 10 special tests which will be largely different to last year as we seek to offer variety.These will comprise of gravel, tar and grass. This year the rally will start on the Saturday evening with a test and regularity planned to ease you into the event! Supper will also be provided, so no rushing around looking for somewhere to eat. The route will be a test of crew and car and there will be some slightly rough roads so a sump guard is highly recommended. The event is a round of the 2025 HRCR Clubman’s Road Rally Championship and as such it is expected that demand for entries will be high. It is a busy weekend in the locality and accommodation will be at a premium, it would be wise to book early.

There will also be a Clubman’s rally run alongside the main event covering the same route but entirely on a tulip road book. The event will start at different locations on Saturday and Sunday and finish at the Old Railway Garden Centre in Three Cocks for the now traditional carvery. The trailer park will be just across the road. We look forward to seeing you on the day and plan to supply you with a good fun but challenging day.

Fairfield Motor Co. Epynt Hillclimbs

14th & 15th June, 2025

In 2007 Martin Leonard and Stuart Cardell started the first Epynt Hillclimb supported at the time by Dennis Motorsport. 

The track used is the steepest in mainland United Kingdom and offers a great challenge to all that attempt it. The event has always been popular and attracts a wide range of machinery and drivers. The beauty of the hillclimb is that you can use virtually any car, from your road going every day transport through to highly modified specials. The event is now supported by the Fairfield Motor Company and enthusiastic proprietor, John Morgan, brings a pair of cars to compete in each year.

Black Mountains Classic Tour

31st August, 2025

In 2015, club officers Chris Phillips and Martin Leonard embarked on adding another event to the calendar of Brecon MC.

The club already promoted a stage rally, road rally, hill climb and classic show alongside the popular navigational scatter series so the thought was to try something a bit different and slightly less stressful.

The objective was to entice members and others who owned classic non- competition cars to get them out of the garage and enjoy the wonderful Black Mountains area of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The Historic Rally Car Register were already engaged in a Tour Series nationally and after a successful application the Black Mountains Tour formed a part of their series and it’s proved a successful liaison ever since. The more recent tours attracting more HRCR members than any others in the series.

The route planning has always been the more straightforward element being blessed with some of best drivers’ roads in the country but the difficulty is finding venues that can cater for 60 cars and 120 people who need to be well feed and watered during the course of the day - something that’s been achieved well over the years.

In general, the Black Mountains Tour commences at a breakfast venue with a driver briefing followed by three sections each approximately 40 miles in length interspersed with refreshment halts and culminating with a final meal for all finishers and a small souvenir of the event.

Entrants are issued with a tulip style road book and a rally plate and start at one-minute intervals in age related order. Whilst we like to see vehicles that were registered before 1991 other more modern classics are certainly very welcome at the organiser’s discretion.

So come on, get those classics out from the garage and give them a run alongside

like-minded people!

Brecon Motor Club Motor Show

January 24th 2026

In 1968 BMC held a Motor Show in the Market Hall, Brecon, present was Bill Bengry’s Mark 2 Cortina before it competed in the London to Sydney Marathon, along with Fords version of a Ferrari – the Ford GT40 – so named because it was only 40 inches high and Local rally stars with their Mini Coopers.

In 2024 Malcolm Rich found an archived press release posted in the local Brecon & Radnor Express dated 1921 of the club organising a Hill Climb up the Warren Road for Motor Cycles and a few cars. The Club is now recognised by MSUK as being over 100 years old and one of the oldest in UK.

This gave birth to and the theme for another Car Show held on the 25th January 2025 - the first since 1968 to be held in the Market Hall. Bill Bengry’s Mark 2 Cortina was again present along with one of the Mini Coopers.

The 100 years of Motorsport was so successful it has been decided to make it an annual event.
