I am delighted to invite you to join us again at Southport, for the 100^th anniversary of Sir Henry Segrave setting a new world land speed record on Ainsdale Sands – 16^th March 1926.

This was the last occasion when a world land speed record was achieved by a circuit racing car and the smallest engine capacity car to do so, with just a 4 litre V12 supercharged engine – the Sunbeam Tiger (nee Ladybird)

I am further delighted to advise that thanks to the patronage of the family of VJ Mallya, the Sunbeam will be back at Southport and Ainsdale for the 100^th anniversary!

You are invited to join us for three events from the 14^th (Saturday) to the 16^th (Monday) of March as follows:

Saturday 14^th March – The Segrave 100^th Anniversary Charity Dinner 2026 – Waterfront Hotel, Southport.

Tickets are £95/head for a 4-course gourmet meal and £750 for a table of 8 guests.

Guest of Honour: The High Sheriff Of Merseyside, Mr Billy Hui.

Details: The Segrave 100th Anniversary Dinner | SouthportC&S

Sunday 15^th March – The Segrave 100 Concours – King’s Gardens, Promenade, Southport. 

Entry Fee only £25 per car. Class Awards. Free if you are attending the dinner and the Segrave 100 at Ainsdale.

This was the location for the finish of the famous 1903 Southport Speed Trials, one of the first organised speed trials in Great Britain, where after the Official Runs, drivers attempted record breaking runs.

The Speed Trials attracted some of the biggest names in early British motor racing, including S. F. Edge in his Napier, J. E. Hutton in a powerful Panhard, G. Higginbottom in a Mercedes, A. Rawlinson in a Paris–Madrid Darracq, and the pioneering Dorothy Levitt, the first female racing driver,  in her 12 hp Gladiator, winning her class.

The Club have taken the very difficult decision to postpone the 2026 Cataclean Southport Speed Sprint Revival, scheduled to take place Saturday 28th March. This has arisen due to multiple unforeseen factors, that may compromise the running of a successful event within the community, arising since the date was originally set.

Plans to reschedule for later in the year have been met with positive support by Sefton Council and Motorsport UK.

Further information will be forwarded as alternative plans are put in place.
