About Us
Welcome to the official website of the British Racing Drivers’ Club. This is the place to come for the latest Club news, updates on events, our Members’ racing achievements and to contact the staff. Our site reflects the Club’s glorious heritage and its exciting future. You are welcome to familiarise yourself with the Club’s history, find out what it takes to become a Member of the BRDC and also catch up on the progress of the heroes of tomorrow on our SuperStars and Rising Stars scheme pages.
The British Racing Drivers’ Club is, arguably, the most exclusive club in motor racing. With a membership that numbers only 850, it is home to the most successful racing drivers from Great Britain and the Commonwealth. Those who have met the exacting entry criteria have achieved at the highest levels of the sport, or made a significant contribution to enable others to do so.
Membership of the BRDC is highly sought after and extremely difficult to achieve. The list of Members, past and present, reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ of motor sport.
The BRDC owns and operates Silverstone Circuit on the Buckinghamshire/Northamptonshire borders. The Club has been responsible for developing Silverstone into a world class motor sport venue and promoting top flight motor sport there for approaching 60 years.
The Club takes it responsibility as ‘guardians of British motor sport’ very seriously. In addition to maintaining and operating the only circuit currently licensed to run a Grand Prix in Great Britain, the BRDC has for many years fostered young driver talent. That these factors have contributed to Great Britain retaining its high profile and achieving considerable success within motor sport over many years, is a source of great pride to the Club and its Members.
