Seriously Hick, you want somehting like Hockenheim? surely not fella. Its a car park track like Turkey, Argentina and Franciacorta were.

Lydden is tired, that much is true.

Silverstone would be a better venue overall, but teams would battle it as it would cost more to get there from Europe on ferry (where all the teams come from in our supposed World championship)

Plus there is no structure there for rallycross. Silverstone are stone broke and have been for a while, I believe they are in the process of being sold so this is an attempt to try and interest buyers, and that means making as many events look possible as you can. WRX is growing and is hitting people as they are spending millions on marketing and social media so Silverstone marketing hvae seen this and offered a possible route, nothing more.

They already have the two biggest race meetings in Britain plus the bigest historic race meeting.

As for layout, Silversotne is dull, uninspiring, flat and expensive. So it would be perfect for what most IMG people think RX fans need.

It will never go to Brands Palmaer make smore than enough out of his stuff and wants to do his own things more like the American event. Plus there is nowhere it could run, but I can see Oulton being possible, there are off road sections there. Snetterton would be superb, easy access and a new layout crying out for something interesting.
