Default A Bit Of History

Dear Racers

Before we start with some history we would like you to know the club is a club mans club I.E all funds that are taken by the club go back in to the club.

Maritime Racing started life as a small touring car club in the medway towns, renting a hall with a track size of 14 m by 18 m which was run on a Thursday night.

The number of drivers we got was between 60 to 70

The club then started Carpet Wars which was a winter championship at a larger hall track size 30 m by 14 m on its first year we had driver number off about 130
in the second year Carpet Wars it was moved to the Black Lion sports centre with a track size of 32 m by 24 m one of the largest indoor tracks in the UK

Over time and lots of saving, Maritime Racing found its new home at the Historic Dockyard it took a year to build to venue.

The club has a permanent venue with pitting table,power and chair for 100+ driver, cafe and a Track of 34 m by14 m

The club runs every Thursday Night 1/10 touring, every other Tuesday 1/12, Mini and Mardaves, Selected dates for Saturday practice and the Carpet Wars Championship which is in its 9th year.

In the second year of open we transformed the touring car track to an off road track and held the Petit Rc race on tour.
We were asked again the next year to host this meeting which we did gladly.

We were ask again to host the 2011 Petit RC Race but with a potential sale of the building that we are using we had to decline

In the late part of 2010 we were told that the sale would not go a head.

The club then decided to run its own off road meeting Off Road Wars Two Day World Cup
and with the support of the trade and the reputation we have from Petit Rc this meeting is looking
to be a great success. meeting date 26th/27th February 2011.

Now the club can go forward it has been decided that it is time to expanded the club, so on the same level as the touring car track, we have taken a second room to build a NEW PERMANENT OFF ROAD TRACK at Maritime Raceway.
