The British Motor Cycle Racing Club was formed in 1909 and was based at the famous Brooklands racing circuit at Weybridge, Surrey. It continued there until the outbreak of W.W.II. when the circuit was taken over by the aircraft manufacturer, Vickers. After the war, the BMCRC was for a long time without a permanent home. It's headquarters were at times at Haddenham, Dunholme Airfield in Lincolnshire, Silverstone, Croydon (for Crystal Palace circuit) and Brands Hatch in Kent.
