After recent changes in the law, there’s a chance that we will see motor racing on the streets of Britain again soon – returning after a break of more than 20 years. A Law was passed to temporarily suspend speed limits of public roads for events.
Birmingham Super Prix
One place particularly that we may see racing again is the Bristol Road in Birmingham. Over 20 years ago it hosted the Birmingham Super Prix that saw Formula 3000 cars race along a 2.6 mile city centre circuit.
Previous Events – 1986 until 1990
The event, took place from 1986 until 1990, saw cars travel at up to 200mph along the closed city roads, and through the tunnels under the city centre.
Motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss is among those calling for its return.
I think Birmingham would be an excellent place to have it. People are enthusiastic, it is central to England, and people can fly there too.
Another good thing about having it in Birmingham is that it would be a bigger event within the city of Birmingham than in the city of London.
