Description | Proposal dated 1971 for a street circuit that should have hosted a F.2 race in 1973. First problem to be solved was a legal problem, as such circuits were banned by laws. However, local administration, RAC and drivers were strong minded to carry on this proposal. Note that this circuit is very close to the one used by F.3000 from 1986 to 1990. | ||||

Birmingham: comparison between different track layouts
Birmingham Superprix: 1966 proposal
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

(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)
