Description

The story of Superprix, Birmingham’s very own road race – the subject of much controversy amongst residents of the city, politicians' and race fans alike.
Synopsis

The SuperPrix was a motor racing meeting held over August Bank Holiday on a street circuit in the centre of Birmingham, from 1986 to 1990. The principal event was the Formula 3000 Championship race, but support races included touring cars and sports cars. The idea of a motor race in the heart of England's nlotor city (to emulate the Monaco circuit) had been mooted as early as 1966. In the end, the city's arterial roads round the Bull Ring and the city centre provided one of the most exciting racing events ever staged in the UK.

  • POSTCARDS FROM DETROIT
    ROGER HART
    No one would ever confuse Motown with Monaco but in the 1980s the two cities had at least one thing in common: both were hosts to Grands Prix. In 1982 in an effort to showcase the home of Ford, G.M. and Chrysler as an international world-class city, community leaders lured the F1 circus into running a 2.5-mile course on the bumpy streets around Detroit's Renaissance Center. Aft...
