Dear Sir, We are very anxious to carry out some high speed tests on the Donington Inner Circuit in the near future. We understand that the course has been taken over by the military authorities, and is now closed for racing. It occurred to us, however, that in view of the specialised nature of our work, it might be possible to make arrangements enabling us to use the track for testing as before, and we should be very grateful if you would let us know the position, regarding [struck through] re. this [handwritten]. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
