lot of people in the UK use a German server, which you can find at:

This server is completely free, but you do have to register on their
website, using a genuine e-mail address. It "only" carries (IIRC) 18,000
groups, including a lot of national hierachies, but all the useful
motorsport ones are there (including rec.autos.simulators, naturally),
except that it carries no binaries groups.

You can search for a server there. I used it when I
was having problems with my ISP.
Good luck,
