I agree the "circus" format has been used to success with the BTCC but it does have much more diversity of grids, wtih GTs, Single Seaters and Tin Tops.

I think the BTCC, if given good billing, would still attend the GP with one race. Also we could expect to see Formula 4 and perhaps a sprint race for British GTs. The GP could go back to what it was intended to do and that is to provide a showcase for the local lesser formulae. Apart from Porches, the current format is entirely single seaters and frankly watching a bunch of slipstreaming bolides all day can get tedious. Diversity is what is needed.

Yes, instead of "how can we improve F1" they need to think of how to improve the event.
