That is a shame Found this on The Argus:

Quote:
The historic Brighton Speed Trials have been cancelled this year following a fatality during last year’s event.

Representatives from the Brighton and Hove Motor Club, which organises the annual event on Madeira Drive, met Brighton and Hove City Council last week to discuss the future of the trials.

Both parties agreed it would be unwise to host the speed trials until the circumstances that led up to last year’s incident were fully understood and the coroner had reported her findings.
Whilst it was a tragic accident, everyone enters an event like this knowing that motorsport is dangerous. I hope the Speed Trials haven't run for the last time in today's health & safety society.....
