The BMW Car Club Championship was started in 1987 by husband & wife team, John & Linda McVicker. The Championship was an essentially amateur club series, for the BMW owners who wanted to race their BMW?s at all the national circuits in the UK. The championship was opened to all types of BMW from 2002?s to CSL?s, Bat mobiles, new models & the older model. The first race meeting was on a cold & overcast Saturday at Silverstone where it was a full grid & the racing was fast & furious.?

The Championship continued under the BMW Car Club banner until late 1999, where the championship was re-named to the BMW Racing Drivers Club. The championship became the ??~Drivers Club? where the all the drivers had in how their club/championship was run, & it is still like this to this day!?
