It'll be interesting to see what the govenment do now, as the money that was thrown away for the A43 is difficult to justify now...
Bernie hasn't helped the smaller circuits and the BRDC haven't helped themselves, but it is true that the UK doesn't have a truly world-class motorsport facility...it'll be interesting to see how this develops...

There will need to be serious questions asked of local and national governments if written guarantees were not made about the longevity of the race at Silverstone prior to the money being spent on the road network around the circuit.
I have been to lots of circuits around Britain, Europe and America and non of them look much on a wet Wednesday. They don't look much at most other race meetings either as no one turns up.
