My memory (which may be faulty!) was that there were 2 proposals for Silverstone - one involved an oval which actually included one of the corners on the GP circuit, with it built up as a shallow banked corner that could also be used to provide multiple lines for overtaking opportunities on the "road" course as well, and the other involved an oval built up as part of the infield Stowe circuit. Not sure why the plan(s) floundered.
