The bridge is regarded as one of the most recognisable features at a motorsport venue, particularly the Circuit de la Sarthe [1] and Donington Park ,[2] although the latter was removed during renovations for the failed attempt to stage the 2010 British F1 Grand Prix, and due to new racing safety regulations, cannot be restored.
Radio and television personality Chris Evans bought the Donington Park bridge while visiting a racing memorabilia auction in September 2012.[3]

^ Relocated to its present location at the between 1986 and 1987 to allow for the insertion of a chicane.
^ Originally dismantled to allow a proposed 200mph straight to be created, since work fell through due to financial reasons, the bridge is currently in a dismantled state after it was not restorable due to racing regulations.
^ Originally known as the JPS Bridge, then the Bridgestone Bridge and the GMAC Bridge, has since been renamed the Armor All Bridge.
^ Sandown Raceway originally had a Dunlop Bridge from 1964-1984 located at the Turn 9 causeway. The base of the old bridge was not protected by barriers and was the site of many high speed crashes and was removed on safety grounds during circuit re-configuration in mid-1984. Sandown's current bridge was originally the Dunlop Bridge which stood at the Surfers Paradise Raceway from 1966 until the circuit closed in 1987. This bridge has been since been modified and renamed the Jim Beam Bridge.
^ Various other tire brands also advertised on Laguna Seca's Dunlop Bridge.
