In 1982, the MCAC was the first UK motor club to enter a team (three cars) in the East African Safari Rally, and in 1986 two members competed in the Himalayan Rally, achieving 3rd and 4th placings. During the 1990s, several members were regular competitors in UK international and Belgian national events. In 2000, the Club entered no less than 10 members and three teams in the London-Sydney Marathon. Since 2003, the Club has participated in the Barbados Carnival Rally, and has co-promoted the South of England Tempest Rally.
