BORDER ECOSSE CAR CLUB
was founded in the early 70s by a few car enthusiasts who had one thing in common – a passion for motor sport.

This was hardly surprising considering Formula 1 Champion Jim Clark and Britain’s most successful long distance rally driver Andrew Cowan were both from the Duns area.

Since then Louise Aitken-Walker from Duns became the ladies World Rally Champion in 1990 and Mike Horne/Monty Pearson also from Duns teamed up under the Border Ecosse Car Club banner to win the Scottish Rally Championship in 1994.

It is no wonder that the Border Ecosse Car Club has stage rallying at the forefront of its activities and that the Borders Stage Rally Championship continues to go from strength to strength since its inauguration in 1996.

Undoubtedly the late great Colin McRae helped swell the number of rally fans and competitors and Border Ecosse Car Club has benefited from this growth with member numbers continually increasing. Junior membership is also very strong and this bodes well for the future of the club.

Border Ecosse Car Club’s Autocross Championship is very popular in the Borders and Northumberland and this form of motor sport can be fairly inexpensive.

Navigational Rallies, Auto tests and the occasional Production Car Trial also form part of Border Ecosse Car Clubs annual Championships.

Border Ecosse Car Club also co-promotes the Jim Clark Rally which is the only closed public run rally in mainland Great Britain and is a counter in the British Rally Championship.

Presently the Borders is rich with Stage Rallying talent and the Border Ecosse Car Club is proud to have most of them as members.
