Rheydter Club für Motorsport
Rheydter Club für Motorsport
The Rheydter Club für Motorsport e.V. in the DMV, „RCM“ for short, was founded on 30 December 1947. The RCM became famous as the organiser of the legendary races in the fifties on the former race track called „Grenzlandring“ around the city of Wegberg.
300,000 spectators were no rarity at these races. After the closure of this race track, the RCM organised many different competitions, e.g. rallies (including the German Championship), circuit races in Zolder and on the Nürburgring, kart races, slaloms and rallycross.

Races at the Grenzlandring and Nürburgring
Since 1977, the RCM has organised the annual RCM-DMV race at the „Grenzlandring“, a round of the VLN Long Distance Championship at the Nürburgring. After the DTM it is the most important touring car series in Germany. It consists of 10 races. Up to 200 vehicles of different types start. Starting with professional teams with factory support of Porsche, BMW, Audi, Aston Martin etc. up to smaller private teams everything is at the start. Up to 10.000 spectators come to each race.
Many of the approx. 60 RCM members are active motor sportsmen. They are supported by the RCM in various ways.
RCM Grenzland Klassik
The highlight for classic car fans is the „RCM Grenzland Klassik“, which takes place annually in and around Mönchengladbach. During the classic car rally, up to 80 vehicles explore the charming streets of the Lower Rhine.
With their four-wheeled treasures from the years of manufacture from 1935 to 2000, the teams fulfil the tasks of maps, Chinese signs and GLPs of international uniformity and reliability driving throughout the day, covering a distance of approx. 150 kilometres.
The annual winter festival with award ceremonies and culinary delights, the summer festival and the monthly club evenings round off the club life.
