Birmingham Superprix was a street circuit which hosted a round of the Formula 3000 between 1986 and 1990. During this time, the circuit was also used for the BTCC, 1600 Formula Ford and sports cars in the form of support races.
It was as far back as 1966 that a race in the center of Birmingham UK was discussed. Sir Stirling Moss was granted permission to hold a race in 1972, but further plans never materialized. However, in 1984 the council forwarded the Birmingham Road Race Bill to parliament, and the following year, the event was approved. The first Birmingham Superprix was held one year later. - Liam Hatchell
