See the press release I posted on the F1 forum.
Deal done between Otagon and BRDC to rent Silverstone to host the GP for the next 15 years. I guess this will stop them tearing up the Brands GP track but I can't pretend it makes me happy. RickP |

If it saves Brands, then you won't catch me complaining.
I mean, Brands was good enough for F1 in 1985, so they can jolly well adapt and adjust to fit in to what's already there. The Historic GP boys and girls seem to manage okay. But I forgot. They need an area the size of Berkshire to fit Bernie's TV caravans in nowadays. Better keep them in Silverstone and let the real racers carry on as before at the Hatch. |

Fantastic News!!!!
Silverstone is the best circuit in England, with a bit of development it could be even better. I have already booked my ticket for next year, looks like it could be for the next 15 years now  he he

I agree with Wooody, Silverstone is loads better than Brands and just about all of the other circuits in the country. Still, would have been convenient for me if the Donington thing had happened!

Bugger!
 I was hoping and praying it'd go to Donington... Silverstone is such a poxy place for spectating... One good thing though, I guess, at least this means that they won't have to sanitise any further circuits for Bernie - and HOPEFULLY we'll be able to visit Dingle Dell for years to come  Interestingly I get the idea that Octagon (BHLG/BMP) are actually leasing the circuit full time for the next 15 years - not just for the GP weekend... look like they got their wish to take over British Motorsport after all... |

Well, it's only up the road from me and.. with a little more contemplating, I just might go to it next year.
