It would seem that the MSA are doing a push to get closed road motorsport approved in the UK, which could prove to be good if it goes through and you like motorsport (both watching and competing). Full details below if anyone wants to take a look and/or feel inclined to respond to the consultation: [URL="http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/newsletter/ClosedRoads.pdf"]http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/newsletter/ClosedRoads.pdf[/URL] [URL="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposal-to-authorise-motor-sport-events-on-public-roads"]https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposal-to-authorise-motor-sport-events-on-public-roads[/URL] I will be :)

Could this be connected with the attempt to bring F1 to London?

I think that Formula E is the immediate plan, but the possibilities it opens up for hillclimb, racing and other similar events, already available in the Channel Islands, Ireland and across Europe is too good an opportunity to miss! The Kop Hill (?) climb at Princes Risborough has been run on closed roads for the last five years, but I assume has had to have some special exemption?
