"The Brighton Speed Trials is thought to be the oldest running motor race. The first race was held in July 1905 after Sir Harry Preston persuaded Brighton town council to tarmac the surface of the road adjacent to the beach between the Palace Pier and Black Rock in order to hold motor racing events. This stretch was renamed Madeira Drive in 1909 and the event is still held there, normally on the second Saturday of September each year. The event is currently run as a quarter mile sprint for both cars and motorcycles is organised by the Brighton and Hove Motor Club.
If anyone could provide me with scan of the results for 1960, 1961 & 1967 I would be most grateful. Please contact me at: pierre@lequeux.org
