Whitchurch Speed Trials
Description Speed trials were held in the 1930s. The course was set on the entrance road to what was then Bristol Airport. Competition had to cease at regular intervals to allow the airport bus to enter and exit the airport!

Whitchurch Speed Trials 1937

Due to technical problems, temporarily it’s no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)

See this track layout with Google Earth - milermeter.com
(milermeter.com can be used in your browser, without installing anything; Google Earth is a program that must be installed in your computer)
(Map shown here above can show at the same time all eventual layouts drawn. If you want to see only some of them, please go to Google Maps or Google Earth, by clicking on its own link)
