Chris Hobson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Well before anyone's time (I guess) but Kop Hill near Princes Risborough was a leading venue from 1910 to 1925 - and is the reason closed road racing was banned in this country.

It has now been revived and in September each year a demonstration event (no timing) is held on the closed road. Last year we have 12,000 spectators over the two days and raised over £50k for local charities.
