Maybe, just maybe this will happen. It would open the door to the possibility of a UK version of the Berg Cup which would be immense!

Need to fix all the potholes first otherwise I can envisage a lot of broken machinery 

Awesome otherwise though

Don't think it will happen. One reason.

Health and safety! Everything nowadays relates back to health and safety!

I think you nippers need to actually get involved in grass-roots motor sport.

You might realise how much sh*t you're talking.

+1 We already have official road rallies (WRC Wales this weekend anynone?). It just allows this to be expanded by letting local authorities work with Police and let local motor clubs close sections of road for competition use. It will of course have to be with H&S in mind and properly marshaled but the Germans manage fine with the Berg Cup. This country has probably the biggest motorsport pedigree in the world and to see this happen would be awesome.

Ditto - I can *just* remember the Isle of Wight rally.

Bring this sh*t on again - we NEED it.

 Remember as a kid just how exciting having motorsport in the city centre was. All but a couple of remnants of that track are long gone now.

 Also remember just how good BTCC used to be
