Brighton Speed Trials 2021
Discussion
Just had an email from Brighton & Hove Motor Club saying they’re short of entries for this year’s Speed Trials.
Thought it might be of interest to some of the TVR mob.

That's a sad first. They've always been heavily oversubscribed...
C'mon Derek, Baz...
its on my bucket list and has been for years.C'mon Derek, Baz...
My cars dying at the moment but i have plans for a lot of work over the winter so will try enter in 2022.
Barrie is a good shout though, hes at the pod today running very close to breaking my best time.
Hes also not too far away from Brighton.
If one were into sprinting (or indeed most other forms of motorsport) then one would already have the kit, and the licence. Requiring (temporary) Membership of the organising Club is not unusual, it helps to finance the event.
I've always considered it a privilege to just be present at what is probably the World's longest running motor event and, up until this year at least it seems, so have the many thousands of entrants ...some of whom looked to have started their motorsport in 1905 too
Maybe Covid has taken its toll. Maybe it's done what even the Greens couldn't do...
Hope not.

I'm pretty sure they have abolished the road car classes. So, it's no real surprise they now find themselves with a lack of entries.
It's a great even but part of the fun for me was the huge variety and even sheer nuttyness of the road cars.
Where did you get that from? On the entry regs, there are 5 road going classes.It's a great even but part of the fun for me was the huge variety and even sheer nuttyness of the road cars.

Think I had an email from either BHMC or MSA or both that the licence class for the speed trial was changing about national b non race now not being enough. Could be why they are now so under subscribed.
National B licences haven’t existed for a few years now, they’re just updating the requirements to the RS Interclub which is the replacement. The last minute requests for more entries may be explained by this news that there will be no 'bikes running this year ...apparently the Gr
ns controlled City Council have gone ahead and installed a new cycle lane along Madeira Drive 
The cycle lane has pedestrian crossings (I kid you not) that project out from the pavement and, in the opinion of the VMCC, pose a danger to motorbikes, so they have decided to give it a miss this year, hoping the obstructions can be modified in time for a return in 2022.
Yep, sounds about right...
