Photoset: Brighton Speed Trials back in action!

​The Brighton Speed Trials were held on Saturday the 7th of September 2019 in almost perfect conditions. Spectacular action as always with a full varied entry list. One of the highlights was a long silver car powered by a Merlin engine. This will be hard to beat. Long may this great event continue - we now look forward to next year!

According to Wikipedia The Brighton Speed Trials are the oldest motor race in the world! The motorbikes and cars taking on the quarter of a mile sprint on Madeira Drive in 2019 has been wonderfully captured here in this set of images by Steve Bridge.

The Merlin powered beastie was something to behold.

Brighton & Hove Motor Club

This club runs some amazing local motoring events: being a relatively small club, they achieve so much. Congratulations to them on another great Brighton Speed Trials is in order.
