Welcome to the Dukeries Motor Club Website

Dukeries Motor Club is based in Nottinghamshire and meets twice a month, every second Thursday and fourth Thursday, at the Mansfield Rugby Union Club, Eakring Road, Mansfield. (O.S. Map 120, Ref 574/611)

Dukeries Motor Club was formed in 1954 with the aim of "promoting, encouraging and organising motor sport". It took its name from the area of rural North Nottinghamshire known as 'The Dukeries' which was once home to five Dukes. It is one of the regions leading motor clubs with an excellent reputation for organising events. In the past the club has organised up to six rallies each year, but efforts nowadays are concentrated on two major special stage events, the Dukeries Rally which runs in June and the Premier Rally in November.

In addition to the organisation of these events, Dukeries members assist other motor clubs by marshalling on many events throughout the year, including the Rally of Great Britain, the final round of the FIA World Rally Championship, in November. Many Dukeries club members are active competitors and their efforts over the years have meant that Dukeries Motor Club has won both the East Midlands Association (EMAMC) and the North East Midlands Association (ANEMMC) Club Championships on many occasions. The club also runs its own rally championship for club competitors with end of season trophies and cash prizes. (see Club Calendar for further details)

Dukeries Motor Club Ltd is affiliated to the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association (the MSA) which is the governing body of motor sport in Great Britain. It is also a member of five Regional Motor Club Associations; the EMAMC, ANEMMC, AEMC, AWMMC & ANCC.

The Flying Fortress Stages is a round of 3 Regional Stage Rally Championships; the Rainworth Skoda EMAMC Single Venue Stage Championship, Roadrunner/Phoenix Awards ANEMMC Stage Championship and the Ward Construction AEMC Stage Championship.

The concrete tracks (some parts of which are tree-lined), are in good condition and the venue will provide a challenging days motorsport. The Flying Fortress Stages will be a true one day event with Scrutineering from 7.00am and the 1st car starting at 9.30am and finish around 4.30pm.

The organisers have limited the maximum number of entries to 60 to ensure that the event runs as smoothly as possible, so entries are likely to be at a premium.
