No Boundaries.

just racing.

Dirt Nationals is the UK’s toughest off road racing series. 

We pit drivers and their vehicles not just against each other, but against mother nature.

Steep climbs, deep mud, unforgiving rocks, unpredictable weather.

Across multiple rounds, teams face courses designed to test precision, endurance and bravery.

Rules & regulations

Dirt Nationals is affiliated with Nora Motorsport and our events are run under their 4×4 Speed regulation.

class structure

We run a custom class structure that parallels that of US Off Road Racing. From UTV to Class 1 Unlimited and everything between.

MOD VENUE

MAY 1st – 3rd 2026

Dorset – ENDURANCE

Sand & forest endurance – A battle through grit and ancient woodland. Competitors from across the UK and beyond converge on Dorset’s wilds to face a brutal cocktail of shifting sands and unforgiving forest floor.

Loose and relentless, the teams claw through dunes and treelines in a battle against the earth itself.

Stainby stampede

JUNE 19th – 21st

Colsterworth Rd, Stainby, Lincolnshire NG33 5QP – SHORT COURSE

Tight, technical, and utterly unforgiving. Competitors thread through dense woodland where wing mirrors go to die, before climbing gradients that laugh at your clutch.

And then there’s the quarry. Flooded. Deep. Silent. One wrong line and you’re swimming home.

Fast laps. No mercy. Don’t blink.

arockalypse

September 11th – 13th

High Barn Ln, Whitworth, Rochdale OL12 8XG – ENDURANCE

Arockalypse is the crown jewel of punishment – a two-day endurance war of human, machine, and earth. Competitors from across the UK and beyond descend on Cowm to take on some of the nastiest terrain ever to chew through tyres and egos.

Rocky and winding, the teams battle it out in the coliseum of Cowm.
