ULSTER FINDS A NEW
T. T.
COURSE
NEW 'ARDS' IN ANTRIM
Belfast, January 4. DISCUSSIONS on the future of the Tourist Trophy race for motor-cars advanced a stage to-day when the Finance Committee of Antrim County Council inspected a suggested course in the Glengormly district.
Ulster lost the race in 1936 when Down County Council banned the use of the famous Ards circuit following a serious accident. Last year it was held at Donington, Leicester.
Mr. Robert Crawford, M.P... chairman of the Finance Com-
mittee, stated after to-day's R.H.K.G.C. JUNIOR
meeting: "We shall recommend the Council to grant permission for the race, but our unanimous view is that the course should not run through Temple Patrick. "We suggest that part of the course should be over some of the roads on the Belfast side of the village.
