    Brooklands needs to be brought back to its former glory.

    I visited Brooklands in 1982, to buy Lancia parts at Tony Brooks Lancia Garage. I could swear, If you closed your eyes and listened . You could hear the sound of the early racing cars on the Banked parts of the Circuit.

    Back in the 70s I spent many a sunday afternoon on the members banking with a couple of mates clearing trees out of the concrete. This was done unofficially and several times we were chased off by the security though sometimes were allowed to carry on as we weren`t doing any harm, just improving the place.

    I don't understand - why is Charles Rolls desribed as "infamous"?

      Very odd. He was the youngest son of 1st Baron Llangattock and a keen proponent of engineering, cycling, motoring and flying, but I've never heard of any "infamy".

    Its a terrible shame the track isnt intact Its a lot like the Indianapolis motor speedway here in the states We almost lost it after WW2 Thankfully it was saved from demolition I would have loved seeing a race at Brooklands

    The use of Asphalt and Tarmac was in its infancy when Brooklands was built, so it's not surprising it was never used. In it's early form, Tarmac would probably not have been stable enough to stay in an even layer on the steep banking.

    So basically NASCAR is British?

    Interesting, but somewhat misleading to show Campbell's bluebirds at Brooklands, since none of his LSR records were set there.
