Probably the best Club Motor Sport event in the country!
=======================================================
CAR-nival weekend includes a Long Course Sprint, a Championship AutoSolo and a 60+ mile stage rally, all supported by free camping and caravanning.
Organised by a trio of clubs (Craven MC / Farnborough District MC / Sutton Cheam MC), CAR-nival owes its success to the efforts and support by up to 30 Southern-based clubs. Predominantly, CAR-nival is about serious motor sport but there is another very important element – Charity!
In the last 29 years, we have raised in excess of £600,000 for the ‘good causes’ which are detailed in other areas of this website.
In brief however, this has meant that the daily ‘off-duty’ life of the soldiers serving at the adjacent Army Barracks are being enhanced as a direct result of the event.
Dalton Barracks is a staging post for those either going on deployment or returning from overseas postings and so their ‘downtime’ is an important element of their service life in the armed forces. Sports equipment, film shows and event the odd ‘Smoking Shelter’ have been provided to help break the monotony of life in the Barracks.
Meanwhile our other beneficiary, The Friends of Stowford, 
provide local adults and teenagers with learning difficulties their important independence and education.
Through Abingdon Motorsport CAR-nival and your generous donations, we have provided them with Mini Buses for day trips and outings, a specially-equipped holiday home near the sea and a superb Day Room, situated at the very heart of their local residences.
Monies are raised through donations as part of the entry fees for each element of CAR-nival although many give much more than the minimum requirement.
After 28 years it has grown into a great club motor sport social gathering, almost tribal with old friends and rivals all meeting up for a fun weekend at Abingdon with some arriving on Friday with their tents and caravans and then staying all-weekend.
