What are they thinking of, moving the Brit GP to Donnington!!! :blink:

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Oh good!!

The traffic has been horrendous around here today and will only get worse tomorrow and Sunday - plus the bloody helicopters will be flying over constantly, ferrying the rich and famous.

Think the answer to the question is "Money" as if Bernie needs any more of that.

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Can't see the issue really, its still the GB grand prix innit?

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Not if you dont care about history etc, I guess not.
After all Silverstone is always regarded as the home of World motorsport, the first GP having been held there.

They'd improved access, and they had permission now to improve the circuit, but it appears that will all have been a waste of money as Bernie has decided to take it elsewhere

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

I accept that history has to be revered but its a big business now and thats all they care about....


and I'm not sure Brooklands is any good to drive round anymore.....

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

I felt the same way when it stopped being at Brands Hatch:(

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Naw their going to surprise us in a little while and say we are moving it to the M25 that's why they have been adding the extra lanes, First person to get around once with out a fender bender wins;) Getting their change out at Dartford should be fun:lol:

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Wouldn't fancy using East Midlands airport that week, the road infrastructure is abysmal round there, will have to be improved.

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

But thats what has already been done now at Silverstone!!!!

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

I can't understand it either, but if not enough people will put their hands in their pockets for Silverstone.....

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Its not a done deal though is it?

They need to get the needed planning permissions first.

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Can anyone explain why Silverstone isn't getting what Donnington is?

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

Contracts been signed

Re: Aggghhhhhhh Silverstone
 

someone on the telly over the weekend said something along the lines of "the BRDC cannot pay for improvements to the circuit as the just spent £5 milion on a new clubhouse!" - probably bernie!!!!

for me silverstone lost appeal when they introduced the abbey chicane and made bridge much slower, no more taking the corner flat out and braking for the complex....there was more overtaking then than when the reshaped it, especially in the more exciting support races - BTCC cars were brave / idiotic in their overtakings there!
