Ocean Speed Revival

16 Sep 2023

Marine Drive

Following the successful staging of the Sprint Revival Demonstration Run in 2022, we are delighted to reveal that we will now be running a full closed road Speed Sprint Event along the same 1/2 mile/820m section of Marine Drive. This will revive the historic sprint course that used parts of Marine Drive up until the early ’60s prior to the establishment of the Coastal Road. This will be run under a Motor Race Order and Speed Permit, issued by Motorsport UK, providing delegated powers to Sefton MBC to suspend the Road Traffic Act for the duration of the event.

For 2023, this will be a competitive, timed, high-speed event, for cars and drivers running to MS UK Speed and Invited Classes for cars meeting MS UK Technical Regulations.

Cars will run individually along Marine Drive with the Start opposite the Southport Offshore Rescue Trust with the Finish on the approach to The Pier, opposite Ocean Plaza.
