Who exactly are 'they'? It's unlikely to be the corporation, which has its' own financial problems and I can't see any commercial operator being interested in an investment for such a highly speculative return. The original Birmingham Superprix always 'lost' money and that was in a much more favorable financial climate.
Don't get me wrong - it was a wonderful event, in which I played a very small part but they were different times. I don't see this current interest in 'closed road events' having any bearing on the likelihood of the Superprix being resurrected.
