| About
- Famous Members |
 |
| Since it was founded in 1939,
the club has always attracted aspiring
engineers and innovators who have used
their skills to develop new ideas for car
and engine design. Over the years a number
of the members have "graduated" from the
club and gone on to make a name for themselves
in the motor sport business. |
