As I understood it Mike, it is not possible to revise the existing contract, so the BRDC would have to invoke the cancellation clause, and then hope to negotiate a new contract with Liberty on more favourable terms. With the new owners making plain that they wish to retain the 'historic' circuits one assumes that a more acceptable deal would be on the table.

Should the sport lose the race that introduced the current World Championship in 1950, over money alone, then it would not bode well for the future of other traditional venues, and could we could end up with a pan US/Asia series. A horrendous thought.
