Aintree is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, Merseyside. Historically in Lancashire, it lies between Walton and Maghull on the A59 road, about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north-west of Liverpool city centre, in North West England.

It is best known as the site of Aintree Racecourse, which since the 19th century has staged the Grand National horserace. During the 1950s and '60s, there was also a three-mile-long international Grand Prix motor racing circuit on the site, which used the same grandstands as the horserace. A shorter form of the racing circuit is still used for various motorsport events.

History

The name Aintree, thought to be of Saxon origin, means "one tree" or "tree standing alone." It is first recorded in 1226, also as Ayntre (the usual mediaeval spelling) in 1292. Eyntre occurs; Ayntree and Ayntrie, 16th century. Local legend held that an oak tree on Bull Bridge Lane (removed in 2004) was "the Ain tree" though the antiquity of the name excludes the possibility.

1964 Aintree 200

The 9th Aintree 200 was a motor race, run to Formula One rules, held on 18 April 1964 at Aintree Circuit, England. The race was run over 67 laps of the circuit, and was won by Australian driver Jack Brabham in a Brabham BT7.

During most of the race, Brabham duelled for the lead with Lotus driver Jim Clark, but the Australian won easily after Clark was obstructed by André Pilette and crashed on lap 47.

There was also a class for Formula Two cars in this race, which was won by Mike Spence after the two cars in front of him retired on the last lap; Brian Hart suffering a driveshaft failure and Alan Rees running out of fuel.

    God is Real

    by: India Arie

    The sweetest honey to the brightest flower
    The largest planet to the smallest atom
    Snowflakes and the bird kingdom
    Smaller thatn the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive
    Heard a man on the radio today
    (Spoken)I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've
    been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life
    Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say
    How he could he not believe that God is real
    I don't understand how
    He could feel that way
    When there's earth, air, water, and fire
    So many different flowers
    Sunshine and rain showers
    So many different crystals
    And hills and volcanoes
    Chorus
    That's how I know that God is real
    All of this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    All of this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    I know this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    That's how I know that God is real
    In St. Lucia I jumped in the water
    (Spoken)It was like I was seeing it for the first time. It literally changed
    my life.
    For the first time I understood its power
    As I swam I was cleansed
    If I had any doubts
    This experience cleared them
    Now I know for sure that GOd is real
    I know that it's the truth
    By the way it feels
    Cause I saw starfish and sponges
    Fish shaped like trumpets
    So many different colors
    I stayed out there for hours and I only saw a fraction of a fraction of the
    deepest of the deep of the great blue wide
    It brought a tear to my eye
    Chorus
    That's how I know that God is real
    All of this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    All of this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    I know this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    We're made of the same stuff
    As the moon and the stars
    The oceans saltwater just like my tears are
    You feel me
    The sunrises and sets everyday without fail
    Chorus
    That's how I know that God is real
    All of this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    All of this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
    I know this is not by chance
    That's how I know that God is real
