Is it worth using the new Silverstone layout? Not the full GP circuit, but the new International circuit?

I was pondering that. I doubt TOCA would want to, because the paddock access is terrible and it might even be too small for the entire BTCC circus to fit into.
From a racing perspective, the sequence through Abbey/Farm/Village would be interesting due to the fast/slooooow/fast nature; the flick through the Link into Becketts has a feature that isn't so obvious from a brief viewing - the camber changes dramatically, there's a big bump where the GP circuit peels off left due to the different camber angles and there's a massive sausage kerb in the Link to boot. That would definitely make for some interesting racing
Hangar Straight might be a bit too long for the telly, although seeing BTCC cars going three wide into Stowe would be quite the sight!
