Sad news for Brighton speed trials

[manxie49]

A real shame, never been but I know people who have and said it was brilliant.  I fear we’ll be seeing more things like this coming to an end in the not to distant future …. Enjoy it while we can

Thanks for posting that !

I presume that the cyclists will be timed in both directions and the cars can gain extra points for mowing them down?

I hope Ramsey sprint is still ok?

So is this the ultimate plan then! bring in cycle lanes to force sporting events to stop!

Soon all sports and competitions involving internal combustion engines will become rude and barbaric behaviour. Historians will talk about them as today they are talking about gladiators in Ancient Rome.

If 20 years ago someone told me that skateboarding and bmx will become Olympic  sports I wouldn’t believe.

You are so right !

We are going the same way with motorsports as the fox hunters and probably the shooting community in general.

I fear for Angling as well as us.

Question is bmw 4.4, jag 4.2 supercharged or 5.0 supercharged, gearbox supposed to not blow up as often with the 5.0 but I think that's a lot to sink into something that might be scrap in 6months
