Description:Every August Bank Holiday weekend from 1986-1990 Birmingham city centre was transformed into a street racing circuit, Formula 3000 cars screaming down Bristol Street, Belgrave Middleway, Sherlock Street and Pershore Street, cheered on by crowds of up to 60,000 people.
There seems to have been a mixed response from local residents to the Superprix. Some loved it and some hated it. It wasn't easy for residents to come and go during the races - especially those living on the Benmore estate. Gwen White, who still lives in Lee Bank, did enjoy the races and still has her complimentary free earplugs to this day.
