peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

With only a few years left in the circuit, a major rebuild would be undesirable. But this is section of track that was bypassed by the infield section in the 1980s after the circuit was deemed unsafe by the FIA when Sandown hosted sportscars events. Presuming it still exists, perhaps reactivating the infield section may be a more cost effective solution?
Google maps would suggest that part of the track is gone. or at least buried which in really poor repair
