The South East Motor Sports Enthusiasts
Club has been promoting motor sport events at Lydden International
Race Circuit since 1994.
In 1995 the management of SEMSEC was taken
over by Tunbridge Wells Motor Club with the assistance of
Borough 19 Motor Club and Rochester Motor Club. It also involved
the then Lydden Marshals Club and a number of experienced
motor sport officials. One of the changes made was the introduction
of Sprints to precede the racing, which would normally
be prohibitively expensive if run on their own.

Getting involved
The involvement of the clubs provides their members with
the opportunity to get involved in race events, an opportunity
not normally available because of the expense
of running a race meeting, the man power involved and the
rules govening the promotion of race meetings. With the
extra income from the Sprint events, to help suppliment
the race income, it keeps down the entry fees for both
disciplines.
It has always been SEMSECs philosophy to
promote clubman level motor sport to the widest possible
audience. This philosophy applies to its competitors as well
as the clubs. Race championships were established to cater
for most cars. In 1997 a Handicap championship for saloon
cars was set up and has been a popular part of each meeting
ever since.

Greater heights
SEMSEC has grown in popularity
over the years and enjoys some very entertaining races
and good grids. SEMSEC’s meetings often include guest
championships which have included the Drayton Manor MG
Metros, Thorough Bred Sports and GTs and most famously
the spectacular Formula 5000 races.
SEMSEC’s current success is entirely
down to the support and co-operation of all the clubs, individuals
and competitors involved. It is their intention to continue
to provide entertainment, opportunity and financial benefit
for all those involved.
This website contains all the information
you need to get involved with SEMSEC. It includes basic information
on the requirements for competing, marshalling or officiating.
The site also contains results, dates and pictures of race
meetings and track days. Championship details are available
as are regulations and entry forms to download.
We hope you will want to be a part of the
action.
