I posted about this in one of the other threads where the Super Prix was mentioned (possibly the Number 8 bus route thread).
I got really excited as I love Formula E, but in today's news it's saying that the announcement was 'premature' and rather than there being 'advanced talks' as Andy Street said, Councillor Ian Ward has said there hasn't even been a discussion with the Formula E body and "This is an interesting idea", he said, "but the people of Birmingham would need to be consulted and any announcement before we have heard the views of citizens is premature".
Andy Street hasn't commented.
Grrrr!
