QRS Club Information

Quad Racing Scotland History

Quad Racing Scotland was started by a small group of Quad enthusiasts who saw that there was no quad racing events held in Scotland for adults or children and took the initiative to form Quad Racing Scotland. From that day forward Quad Racing Scotland has gone from strength to strength each year thanks to the riders, their dedicated families and friends (AKA Mechanics) and the QRS family (AKA The QRS Committee).

QRS welcomes riders of all abilities, whether you’re young or old, new to the sport or a championship rider you and will be made most welcome at QRS. We are well known throughout the sport as a family orientated club, a friendly bunch who are always on hand to help with the last minute problems that crop up.

We have seven rounds in this 2012 season which are spread from the Scottish Borders to the Scottish Highlands. Our tracks are chosen to give variety to our riders, some fast, some technical, some with jumps that make the spectators go oh, some muddy, some sandy but ALL with lots of fun!

If you are interested or want to know more about Quad Racing Scotland then contact us and we would be delighted to tell you more.
