The world-famous Brooklands circuit has announced plans are coming together to celebrate their centenary on 20th April.

Negotiations are in hand with the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu for "Old Miracle", the famous Brooklands Norton used by the Norton factory for almost ten years to test BR and BRS engines.

It is confirmed that the ex-Mike Hailwood Honda will come up from Beaulieu.
Negotiations are also in hand with the National Motorcycle Museum to loan the Rem Fowker V-twin Norton that won the first ever isle of man TT race and an NLG machine that ran in the first ever Brooklands motorcycle race.

It is hoped to have one of the few remaining "Wall of Death" shows located either behind the Campbell Shed or on the edge of the Aircraft Park.
