Might need to mod the suspension a bit, pot holes would make some sections very entertaining  ;D

In my younger days, we used to do exactly that at 4am on the way back from the Southend Cruise!   ;D

Do we recon the F1 boys would get tailgated by transits and sprinters, like the rest of use using the A12?  ::)

Oh, no, I can see what would happen.

[In finest Geordie accent]

It's Sunday 2.00pm and PCs Wayne and Sharon are parked up on a layby on the A12, finishing their chips in their EVO, when some numpty passes them in a barely road legal car at 190mph. To make matters worse, the car is obviously nicked - they haven't even bothered to put dodgy number plates on. So, no use checking with their ANPR! Wayne wastes no time in calling up a stinger unit further down the road...

 ;) ::)

Yeah, was the standard test track when anyone's car needed attention at university. Bounce it off the rev limiter up and down the A12. Those were the days. ;D

That S bend was the nuts....get that right and then you had a nice run down to the roundabout before the full attack mode on the A130 to the Army & Navy at Chelmsford - great days  :) :) Managed that S bend at 80 odd in an XR4i :y   Best race i ever had was in a MK2 SRi Cav against a 3.0 Mk2 Capri.......neck and neck all the way to Chelsmford ;D

I could see Boris getting behind that bid.... He`s mad enough to endorse it.... Maybe even enter his own team... ;D
