About Us
Quinton Motor Club was formed in 1959 and has grown to become one of the largest motorsport clubs in the West Midlands. Its reputation and respect in which it is held have grown similarly, resulting in its membership now based throughout the country - from Scotland to Devon. This is a result of the range of motoring activities that the club is involved in and from the recognition of its professional attitude to event organisation.
The Club's main focus is on Rallying, but it supports members' participation in a wide range of motorsport events, from Sprinting to Circuit Racing and Cross Country to Autosolo’s. The Club offers an annual Bursary fund worth £750 to its members, further supporting their motorsport activities. Free entries to events, including our flagship Nicky Grist Stages, can be won through our Club Championship.
Quinton Motor Club also provides a large contingent of officials and marshals to assist on other clubs' events. Our Marshals are a regular sight out on the stages, from the Scottish Boarders to The Isle of Man. We can draw on the Clubs vast experience, having been one of only eight clubs in the country to be asked to organise a special stage on Wales Rally GB’s final running. Club members were involved at all levels with WRGB, as marshals, members of HQ staff, Stage Commanders and Regional Organisers.
Quinton Motor Club is most well known for organising The Nicky Grist Stages
The Nicky Grist Stages is an all forest rally held in Mid Wales and is a round of the prestigious BTRDA Rally Championship. In 1995, 2005, 2010, 2012 and again in 2016, it was awarded the Bill Turner Trophy as "The best event in the BTRDA Rally Series'. The Rally also won ‘Best National Forest Event’ in 2015 and 2023 at the Welsh Association of Motor Clubs Awards Night.
For 2024, the Nicky Grist Stages is also a round of the MSUK Welsh, HRCR Stage Rally, TCS Plant Hire, Bowler Defender and North Western Associations' Rally Championships
