Welcome to the Launceston and North Cornwall Motor Club Website

Although best known for its Tamar and Launceston Classic Road Trials, which attract entrants from all over the country, Launceston and North Cornwall Motor Club also extends a very warm welcome to those finding their way into the world of motorsport with a series of ‘non-damaging’ Summer field trials which enable pretty much anyone, including children, to have a go at competitive driving using pretty much any kind of car or motorcycle. The emphasis is on inclusion and fun.

Seasoned competitors with specialist cars can also take part in three championship-level Sporting Trials, while occasional car road runs and motorcycle trail rides are also organised by the club, which has been running for over 100 years.

Events are held at a variety of venues in East Cornwall and West Devon. Volunteer marshals are always welcome, with training and support given.

    Marshals Needed!

    We are looking for marshals to help the day run safely. If you are available to marshal, even with no prior experience, then please contact Mike Wevill on 01566 784451 or 07498 160292.

    Any help is massively appreciated; these trials simply wouldn’t be able to run without you.

    Directions to the Venue

    From the A30 (west or east), take the exit sign (2.5 miles NE of Lifton) for Broadwoodwidger, Stowford & Bratton Clovelly.

    • Travel north for 1.5 miles over Roadford Dam.
    • Continue for approximately 1.5 miles after the end of the dam through Grinacombe Moor village.
    • Turn left into the paddock field where arrowed.

    Important Note: Do NOT follow Sat Nav through Broadwood village. The route will be arrowed from the A30. Please ensure you close the gate behind you, as there are sheep in the fields. Note that this is a different paddock than last year.
