The story of the British Racing Drivers' Club started way back in the days of the famous Bentley team that so effectively, and romantically, dominated the racing scene - Le Mans in particular - during the late 1920s. The founder of the BRDC, Dr. J. D. Benjafield, one of the famed 'Bentley Boys' at Le Mans, was keen to organise dinner parties after races for his friends and drivers. It was these dinner parties which were the seeds from which grew the highly prestigious and much respected British Racing Drivers' Club that we know today.
Clubmans 'K' Sports 1600 cars are front engined sports racing cars powered by the 1600cc Rover 'K' series, now MG XPower, engine. The championship series, promoted by the BARC, has rounds at most British circuits and some European ones.
