Well thats just a silly idea really isnt it.

Firstly i wouldnt want to wish the a14 on anyone let alone drive along it from where i live.

Secondly i'm hoping out of all the UK you havent just read and assumed cambs means cambridge on my name. *** out of you and me and all that.

I'd much rather go somewhere else to drive

Great idea, signed it but doubt the nanny state and nimby's will go for it.

On a side note, suggestions for location

Probably scotland, stand a better chance with the scottish government, in which case southerns would be as well going to the ring..

The ideal location would of course be in Wales, we have the best drivers roads in the UK.

I'd love a UK equivalent of the Nuburgring, but with our H & S laws I can't see it happening but I'll sign up to the petition with limited hope of success.

Il gladley sign ,but lets be honest can you really see the government spending money they dont have on a race track that will supposedly bring in a great deal of revenue through tourism ,i cant ever see this going ahead but you never know !!

Think the best place would be the lincolnshire wolds .

There's about as much chance of that as petrol going down to 50p a litre!

Yes but i,m in no position to say why that is, maybe this can explain, it,s an interesting read

It explains the financial problems and it,s not down to track it self not being a money spinner.
I personally love the place..
