I'm going to bump Stroller's question, since that is the main course, mine is the entree, just a teaser.
Looks like the answer has already been found though!

I was looking for David Purley, who, as you say, tried in vain to rescue his friend Roger Williamson from his blazing car as the marshals looked on and other cars drove past. There is film of this which is truly shocking.
Over to you.
Top of my head - Silverstone, Brands Hatch...............Brooklands (?).............Goodwood (??)
2 out of 4........one I had never associated with motorsport, but its a very famous sporting venue.
Poor guesses on my part. Didn't know there were two answers to my earlier question - have you seen the Spa footage?
Yes, terrifying, like the Le Mans crash which ended with 50 plus spectators dead.
Not according to my source, but there is always a margin for error.
Gets us to 3 - Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Donnington, which has held it once.
The fourth, bizarrely enough, I believe is Aintree, although I guess they took Becher's Brook out.
That's it Roller, before even my time I think.
Joint effort on this one, first out of the blocks of Stroller, Matt and Roller to set the next question......
Thane of Cawdor? Vice Chancellor of Hogwarts? Honourary Mayoress of Cricklewood?
No? Then I'll go for Empress of India
I guess, but not what I'm after and it was part of the question
Thane of Cawdor, I'm going to have to look that up.
Not the Empress of India though.
Just to put this "filler" question from yesterday to bed - a few people took a stab at it.
It is Aldershot, and the R's connection is former player & manager, Gary Waddock, who was manager here for a couple of seasons.
Her Imperial Majesty The Queen-Empress (for British India according to Wiki), but you've already dismissed the Indian connection, so I'm not sure
It would appear that there is more than one answer to this question (one of my researchers will be sacrificed later) and Stan's answer is correct, so apologies and over to you mate.
The one I was looking for was Queen of Ireland
