Whatever happened to the Birmingham GP?!!

[iandbeech]

Do you remember years ago they held some races and it was to be Englands "Monaco"

The glamour was there but where to put the yachts?!!

Glamour and Birmingham in the same sentence doesn't seem quite right.

Besides with all the canal boats, there isn't room for any yachts.

I was there for one of the years, my friend was racing a Unipower GT - recall taking loads of pics, in case these could be of interest to anyone. Somewhere up in the attic I reckon.

I stood on the Belgrave Middleway on watched them going the wrong way past the Mosque. It was very loud. I thought the Fiesta Supporting Race more exciting.

The yachts ? Not been to the canal basin then ?

Anyway, most nights you can race in birmingham. All you need is a stolen car and some Acid to help you drive better.

I went twice in 1989/90. was a guest of compaq so saw the race from the offices above bristol street motors (which acted as the pits -IIRC). The f3000's were impressive but the best racing was the touring cars, but the highlight was meeting Tony Pond who was doing the 6r4 race - wicked!

Anyone got any pictures of the TVR Tuscans at Birmingham?

Not got any photos but can remember seeing the Tuscans on the TV. Seem to recall Chris Hodgetts won a race and planted his Tuscan in the armco after some OTT celibrating after the chequred flag.
