@ 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
