It was the first major international Grand Prix to take place in Great Britain

@FozzieHey: - clearly this is either a misquote or the original source made an error. Are you really claiming that the 1926 British Grand Prix and 1927 British Grand Prix weren't major international Grands Prix? A7V2 (talk) 13:02, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Looking at 1927, I think that meets the "international" definition included in the article: "The first genuine road race of international status with real foreign participants was held in this country at Donington on Saturday". I agree, could we rename it to the "first major international Grand Prix hosted at Donington"? FozzieHey (talk) 13:06, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
They are probably referring to the fact that the previous races were on a fairly contrived layout at Brooklands which was really just the oval layout with a few sandbags for chicanes (as in not a "genuine road race"). I'd be happy to change it to either your suggestion, or even something like "It was the first major international Grand Prix to take place on a (genuine road circuit/natural terrain road circuit/similar) in Great Britain".

I think something like "It was the first major international Grand Prix to take place on a road course in Great Britain." seems fine to me, thanks! FozzieHey (talk) 13:19, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
