The Council want to ban the speed trials following a fatality (a passenger came off an outfit under breaking at the end of the run). This has been the only fatality - more die swimming off Brighton Beach. Its another nail in the coffin of these special events

Please regisiter and sign the petition at

The Speed Trials is part of Brighton's heritage having run in the area since 1905. Thousands of people come down to the seafront for an entertaining fun-packed day out for the whole family to watch race cars and motor bikes compete along Madeira Drive.

The event has grown over the years and now even enjoys international acclaim. It has the full support and backing of the Motorsport Association and adheres to their strict rules of safety.

The end of the Speed Trials will be the end of an era for Brighton. It will have a major negative financial impact on tourism and trade in the area and mean the loss of one of the highlights on Brighton's seafront entertainment calendar.

Please sign the petition and help keep the Speed Trials going.

Thanks for the support.  It'll be on 6th September, when I'm on holiday :(

Unfortunately I'm working that day, otherwise I would have gone along.
But at least it's been spared for another day.

I'm going to do my best to be there this year, I've not attended since the 1980's !
