==History==

The Royal Automobile Club was formed in 1897 by Frederick Richard Simms, which set up an "associate section" to assist members with roadside assistance and to provide motoring services. The club incorporated the associate section as R.A.C. Motoring Services Ltd. in 1978. In 1987, the organisation introduced an "Advanced Computer Aided Rescue System".〔
In 1991, it established the RAC Foundation as its research arm. The RAC Foundation was later turned into a charity and received a legacy from Royal Automobile Club members when R.A.C. Motoring Services Ltd. was later sold.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )
British School of Motoring (BSM) was purchased by R.A.C. Motoring Services Ltd. in 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the British School of Motoring (BSM) )〕 In September 1999, R.A.C. Motoring Services was itself purchased by Lex Service Plc from members of the Royal Automobile Club and Lex Service renamed themselves RAC Plc in 2002. In 2000, RAC purchased I/CAD from Intergraph to provide advanced graphical command-and-control capabilities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RAC Motoring Services Signs 4 Million Pounds Sterling Contract With Intergraph Public Safety )〕 and in 2004 The National Customer Service Awards' recognized the system with the 'Best Use of Technology in Customer Service' award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RAC Wins National Best Use of Technology in Customer Service Award With Intergraph I/CAD Command and Control System )〕 In March 2005, Aviva Plc acquired RAC Plc for around £1.1 billion. Aviva then went onto raise around £500m from selling some parts of the business,〔 such as RAC Auto Windscreens in 2008 and BSM to a German company in January 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aviva sell BSM to German firm )〕 BSM has since been sold to Acromas Holdings which owns The Automobile Association.
Aviva Plc ceased providing loans under the RAC brand name in January 2008 and dissolved its partnership with the Co-operative Bank Plc. Aviva sold the RAC to Carlyle Group in June 2011.
