What's the story with the pit stops then?  Can't they last 6 laps without fuel? and how come it takes 40-odd seconds??

         Brighton Speed Trials!! ;D

               Arguably the oldest motoring competition in the U.K.

hey Sam, it's a bit further along the coast isn't it? Bexhill in 1902 I reckon, beats Brighton by 3 years. http://www.bexhill100.co.uk/frame.html (go to the history link)

Hi Phil, to be the oldest, you have to still be alive  ;D the Bexhill races only lived for 23 years unlike the TT and Brighton Speed Trials.
However, good bit of reserching on your part, buy yourself a drink on me as a consolation prize :D :D :D :D

Yep, I'll give you that one, it's always the same with me and exams... "read the goddamn question properly, you fool"   ;) Thanks for the drink though, enjoying it right now. Anyone else want one?

regards, Phil
