History
The Cambridge University Automobile Club was founded in 1902.
In 1946 the club organised the first motor race in Britain after the end of the World War II at nearby Gransden Lodge airfield.
Its members have competed in speed trials, rallies, economy runs and kart races.
In 1983 members of CUAC contested a fuel economy run in Austin Maestros against members of the Oxford University Motor Drivers Club (Oumdc).
