If you’re hunting for a rush of speed without leaving the Midlands, Tamworth should be on your list. The town sits close to a handful of tracks, club nights and gear shops that keep the motor buzz alive all year. In this guide we’ll show you where the action is, how to snap up discounts and what local fans are talking about right now.
Every weekend the nearby Tamworth Motor Club runs club‑level races on a short circuit that’s perfect for newcomers. The schedule rotates between sprint events, classic car meet‑ups and a junior karting series that kids love. Tickets are cheap – usually under £10 – and you can grab a spot at the bar for a few extra pounds. If you’re after something bigger, the Midlands Speedway hosts a touring‑car round a few weeks each month, and the club offers a members‑only discount that saves up to 20%.
Don’t miss the annual Tamworth Rally on the outskirts of town. It pulls rally cars from across the UK and includes a fan zone with autograph sessions, a pit‑lane walk‑through and a chance to try a rally simulator. Early‑bird passes go on sale in March and sell out fast, so set a reminder on your phone.
Local motorsport shops like SpeedGear Tamworth and TrackTech have monthly promos tied to race days. On race weekends they’ll slash 15% off helmets, gloves and racing suits – just show your ticket at the register. Some shops also run “buy one, get one free” deals on basic track day accessories like shoe covers and ear protection.
For a deeper discount, join the Tamworth Motor Club’s online community. Members get a loyalty code that nukes 10% off any online order from partner retailers such as Motorsport Direct and RallyGear. The code also unlocks free shipping on orders over £50, which is handy when you’re stacking up tyres or brake pads.
If you’re looking for an experience rather than equipment, check out the club’s “Track Day Starter Pack.” For £75 you get a guided run on the circuit, a safety briefing and a video of your fastest lap. The pack includes a souvenir t‑shirt that’s a hit with fans who want to show off their first taste of racing.
Keep an eye on the club’s social feeds – they often post flash sales that last only an hour. Those rapid‑fire offers can drop the price of a full‑size racing suit from £300 to under £200, making it a perfect time to upgrade.
Whether you’re a seasoned racer, a weekend spectator or just curious about the local scene, Tamworth offers enough variety to keep you hooked. Grab a ticket, scout a discount and feel the roar of engines right in your backyard.

Tamworth has become a key flashpoint in a coordinated wave of protests over asylum hotels, exposing tensions between Labour-run councils and the Labour Government. A calm rally followed last year’s disorder at the same site, while a High Court ruling in Epping has opened the door for councils to seek injunctions to shut hotels. With 32,000 asylum seekers in hotels, the legal and political stakes are rising.
