Just seen a sky news report that suggest the law will change to allow local governments to run Motorsport events on our streets mainly a London GP - what about the pot holes ! Cars won't last one lap !
 
I can just about remember going to the later bham superprix's and it would be great to see races back on UK city streets

Manchester GP : Double up on the quota of wet tyres then! :D
 
If it's allowed and it can be done in Scotland I'm going to apply to be the host of the Broughton street races. It seems to take place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It would be good to see some real racing in the streets of the UK, I would enjoy that more than going to the track. Plus if it was kak I could go shopping!

Wait. So I'm confused? :? So say like over here there's a street with an intersection and a light. You guys wouldn't get introuble for flooring it on green? Or is the road blocked off for a gathering of people? Or is it just if someonenwants to race they just meet there? I'm very confused?? Is there video of these races or something?

No I'm guessing actual Motorsport, like Formula 1 in Monaco or Singapore. Not public racing, that'd be absurd.

...if not incredibly dangerous :|
 
I think this is specifically for running F1 around central london afaik, presumably a night circuit. There was some discussion this year about restrictions stopping them parading F1 cars down the main streets to show off as part of the silverstone warmup.

Would be incredible if they do it, hopefully it's not just the west end and comes into the City. :D
 
Well I ment as in kinda like your way. Block off roads for an entire 1/4 mile but just a simple straight line. Less space taken, and everyone can join the fun! :thumbsup: block off a road officially like how you talked about F1 but for everyone.
 
Sutton one-way system. Standard Hatch, Chavved Hatch and Lease Saloon classes. Top prize KFC bargain bucket and carnal knowledge of the best specimen of your preferred gender in whatever that club halfway up the high street is called these days.
