For five consecutive years, from 1986 to 1990, the event was held over the August Bank Holiday weekend, transforming Birmingham’s city streets into a roaring racetrack. What set the Superprix apart was its exclusivity: Birmingham was the only UK mainland city legally permitted to host racing on public roads.
