The Brooklands Track in Road Racing & Sprint Racing Directory

    

The Brooklands Society was founded in October 1967 by the eminent journalist and author Bill Boddy to perpetuate the story and history of Brooklands Motor Course and Aerodrome and to restore the 1907 39 racetrack. In the early seventies we managed to get access to the Brooklands site which had been ssible since 1939, and we set about clearing away over 30 years worth of scrap aircraft production materials nd industrial infrastructure so that eventually in 1991 the Brooklands Museum Trust was formed and the nds Museum, which sadly occupies only 30 acres of the orginal 300 acre Motor Course site, was opened.Had it not been for The Brooklands Society, the Brooklands Museum would not exist today. In truth had it not been for the practical preservation work and the legal, planning and legislative preservation work of our ers and more latterly specialists within the Museum staff, the entire site would probably have been developed for housing and commercial use and most if not all of the track would have been entirely destroyed by now.
