andy james Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I have competed in this event many times over the past twenty years but unfortunately after the tragic death of a woman who was riding on a motorbike and sidecar Brighton and Hove council are trying to refuse permission for this event which has run since 1905!! If you have a few moments to spare there is a petition on http://www.savebrightonspeedtrials.com which you can support. We all know how dangerous motorsport and other high speed activities can be but if the powers that be ban these events on the grounds of health and safety we will all be walking around in suits with air bags!!

Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Good post, we should all take the time to support this great event Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I signed the petition a while back, we ran a Lola Sports 2000 there many years ago, great event. Long may it continue. Quote
Stutopia Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Signed, democracy can't work if people don't take the opportunity to speak. Took less than a minute. Quote
andy james Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks guys. If every car club/forum adds a few more names to the petition then maybe this good day out for everyone might be saved. Quote
