This was the first race course in London to be used for a major race
since the closure of the former Crystal Palace circuit. It's only the
second street course ever set up in England for international circuit
competitions after the former Birmingham Superprix track used by the
BTCC and the Formula 3000 series.

The track wound through London's Battersea Park. Weirdly some of the
roads used for the track weren't really level and showed a visible tilt
to the sides. Turn 1 had a large bump that caused so many problems in
practice it was eliminated for the races, requiring a rolling start for
safety reasons because of the resulting corner's narrowed nature.

#1: Actually, the bump was flattened overnight after the first race on
Saturday, so the second race on Sunday used a standing start without the
narrowing barrier.

This was the first street circuit in Britain for a major race since
F3000 and the BTCC ran the Birmingham Superprix was held from 1986
through 1990.
