I think that such a collider would be far cheaper to build inside a supercomputer in the foreseeable future, so we wouldn't need to have charged black holes, or even counter-rotating rings.
Except we don't know the equations of quantum gravity. So we could only simulate the GR collision, which for smaller BHs we're sure leaves out important stuff. The LIGO project has already done a lot of simulations of realistic mass BHs colliding - although I don't know that they've considered near light speed collisions. Brent

After looking at all the formulae re black holes, I have another question:
If you could somehow accelerate 2 approximately equal black holes in a counter-rotating ring like CERN and have them smash into one another, what would happen? Interesting question. It could even be tried if we could make small, charged black holes.
