It's pretty difficult to find, it was a local Act of Parliament so not in the usual sources. HMSO should be able to get a copy; but AFAIK the City still has the power to close the streets for 3 days of racing. A second Bill to increase this to 4 was talked out of Parliament by that IRA loving no-good sow Clare Short.

it's amazing how many posting here are from the midlands area, isn't it. i never went to the original meetings, i was only 11 at the time of the last one, and my parents weren't really in to motorsport, in fact i remember my mom moaning about getting around brum. any way the wholesale market could be used as a pit lane(i think it was used for the paddock last time), but i'm not to sure of the exact layout of the roads, so i don't know if any remodelling would be required.

The Old Pits were done at the front of some sort of car dealer i believe. And AFAIK, they ARENT allowed to close the streets for 3 days, but only 2 at most. But im not sure about that last but. Certainly hope it goes ahead, i'd definately come from London to see it.

yer the pits where bristol road motors which is a ford dealer, BUT it was SO cramped, i think a bit to small for motorsports today, BUT i could be wrong about that.

There are some left. As regards the Armco I was in a customers yards the other day and saw it all stacked high. He bought the lot from the Birmingham City Council. 200 tons of it. I purchased the antenna and camera masts and very nice they were too. So if anything happens again around the streets of Birmingham there is a huge load of capital expenditure to be approved. Unless my customer sells them the Armco back of course. |

Luckily I lived in Birmingham when the superprix races were on. Got a great vantage point in one of the NCP's right next to the track. Would happily come back to see what was some excellent racing. Now I am a marshal would hope to be closer to the action. So hope it happens, would be 200% better than any racing at Silverstone.
