NATIONAL SPEED TRIALS Sat. 12th Sept

We have been told that we cannot use the chalets (again)-- the organisers of the event (Brighton and Hove Motor Club) have not give any freebies....(unlike other orgs....)


NATIONAL SPEED TRIALS, BRIGHTON

Popular annual event held on Saturday 12th Sept. Madeira Drive is closed, and many people view from the top of Marine Parade. 09:00 - 18:00, a constant roar of motor cycles and cars of all vintages, race against the stopwatch, in the direction of the Marina. Viewing is free, but a charge of about £10.00 is made if you want to access the paddock and terrace lower levels and view the entrants up close. Probably the oldest motoring competition in the UK for cars and bikes from veterans to the newest. Started in 1905 when Brighton Motor Week took place. The length of the course is currently a quarter mile and is run under the regulations of the RAC Motor Sport Association. Awards include best overall time, best time by a lady driver, best motorcycle time and best in class.
