THE CLUB
MISSION
“Provide Members and other car enthusiasts with a range of events and opportunities to mix with likeminded people and indulge their passion.”
VISION
“By 2025 the SCC will be recognised as the premier car and motorsport club in Australia. It will be a member and family friendly organisation, operating sustainably through the ongoing success of key events and competitions.”
The Sporting Car Club was founded in 1934, making us the second oldest continually running car club in the World. Our 1,700 members all love cars and taking part in motorsport and motoring events.
​
Much of what the Sporting Car Club is about is motorsport. We run both circuit and hillclimb events at The Bend Motorsport Park, Mallala Motorsport Park and our very own Collingrove Hillclimb. Members as well as the general public have the opportunity to compete and experience life in motorsport.
​
The club is extremely proud that Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC and Mr Rod Bunten are the Club Patron, continuing the great Club history of patronage by the Govenor of South Australia.
There is so much more to the Sporting Car Club of SA than just conditional registration. In addition to the motorsport benefits and opportunities, members will struggle to find a weekend where nothing is happening.
With the help from our sections, weekends are filled with fun and sociable runs to new and interesting destinations within South Australia. Some of our more notable runs include the famous Climb to the Eagle and Sunseeker!
​
Our club rooms are also home to the Eric Rainsford Library, the largest automotive library in the southern hemisphere.
Eric Rainsford Library
Our collection of motorsport and motoring information in our magnificent Eric Rainsford Library is the largest in the southern hemisphere. Club members have access to our impressive collection of motoring books. Over 7,000 volumes including workshop manuals, spare parts lists, motoring journals and books are available for members to borrow and research.
