'THEY are the British Grand Prix, held over a specially- arranged courae with artificial corners and turns at Brooklands; the French, Italian, and Spanish Grands Prix, held over gruelling road circuits, and the Indianopolis 500, held m America. English racing drivers and designers are pressing for permission to hold road races m England, but it is not likely that the authorities will agree.
