Arlington Stadium ends 60 years of motor racing events

Arlington Stadium in Hailsham, East Sussex, will no longer host motor racing events due to serious infrastructure problems. Co-owner Eric Dugard cited health and safety concerns for the decision, which affects the stadium's viability as a motorsport venue. Promotors Spedeworth Motorsports expressed disappointment but acknowledged the need for safety upgrades. The stadium has hosted various motorsport events, including stock car racing, for over six decades, and Dugard is now exploring alternative uses for the venue. Recent efforts to upgrade facilities have not been sufficient to meet safety standards, particularly the need to replace a perimeter fence.
