I think that research will show that there was a competitive speed event at Bexhill in 1902.

Like Brighton , the event took place along the sea front.


I know you to be correct, I visited Bexhill a couple of years ago and recall reading the info.

I was lazy and simply cut and pasted from Brighton tourist office. I should have gone to the Brighton and Hove Car Club site
