Welcome to the 2010 MSA Classic!

On behalf of International Motor Sports and the Motor Sports Association, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2010 MSA Classic.

This year's event is set to be another great day out for the whole family. We have a record number of new check points on the routes, with some exciting motor sport venues to test your handling and driving skills, whilst also retaining the popular museum and stately home venues that allow for a more relaxing stop.

We are delighted to have secured Rockingham Circuit as our new finish venue, giving the event a fresh new feel, and I am confident that everyone will enjoy laps of the International Super Sports Car Circuit.

As always, all routes are guaranteed to contain interesting check points, great driving roads and stunning scenery. The Organising Team have worked hard to maintain the high standards associated with the MSA Classic and we hope each and every person taking part enjoys their day.

I look forward to seeing you at Rockingham.

Andrew Coe
Chief Executive, International Motor Sports Ltd


Who's Organising the Event?

The company behind the Formula 1 British Grand Prix and Wales Rally GB - the UK round of the FIA World Rally Championship, is organising The MSA Classic. International Motor Sports Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association Ltd, the governing body of UK motor sport.

History of the Event

The first MSA Classic took place in 1986, and ran 15 times until 2001. In 1996 the number of entries peaked at 1770, and the event was the largest moving classic car event in the world.

In 2007 the original and highly successful event format was revived, with all routes oversubscribed within 3 weeks. The event continues to go from strength to strength, hailed as an overwhelming success by both participants and the media.

What's the Format of the Event?

This year's event takes place on Sunday 3rd October and offers starting locations at Andover, Castle Combe, Dorking, Norwich, Nottingham and Rockingham Circuit. All routes feature dramatic and picturesque countryside and offer some of the best driving roads in Britain.

The run is intended as a fun event and is wholly non-competitive. There are no timings or penalties for not following the supplied route and participants are free to travel at their own pace. Each route will contain a number of check points which will be open for a specified period. As in the past, check points have been chosen to be of specific interest to the motoring and motor sport enthusiast, in addition to venues of more general interest.

All routes finish at Rockingham Circuit where participants will have the chance to drive parade laps of the 1.9 mile International Super Sports Car Circuit, the perfect end to the day.

LATEST UPDATE (30TH JUNE): The Castle Combe and Dorking routes are now full, a new shorter route starting at Williams Grand Prix in Oxfordshire is now available.
