It has been quite a task to put together a list of class records as the official data for some years is missing, so we have had to re-create the missing data from published sources, rather than from the timekeeper’s original timesheets.

Note that over the years, the description of several classes, particularly the ‘Inter-Club’ classes, has changed several times; engine capacity splits have moved, extra classes have been added and others have been abandoned as demand has changed. We have assembled what we believe is an accurate set of records, using the classes that are in use now. Where classes have changed we have reworked the results so they match the current class titles. We hope this is the information that most people will be interested in.

Note:-
Over the years some classes have changed capacity, extra classes have been added and some removed. The earlier the record was set, the more likely it is that the class is technically different from the class that runs under that class description today.
The results prior to 2013 are given in good faith and believed to be correct, but some of the timekeeper’s original data is no longer available.
The results for 2013 and onward are obtained from the timekeeper’s original datasheets held by Liverpool Motor Club.
