Award Recipients
The Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs has been honouring exceptional contributions to motorsports in the province of British Columbia since 1964. The CACC itself arose through a series of prior organizations including BC Motorsport, CASC BC (Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs BC) and the WCMA (Western Canada Motorsport Association) before becoming an independent organization dedicated to BC motorsports and adopting the CACC title. The table below lists all known recipients as awarded by these CACC historical organizations from 1964 until today.
