That would definitely make for some interesting racing

Hangar Straight might be a bit too long for the telly, although seeing BTCC cars going three wide into Stowe would be quite the sight!
I think one of the main reasons for not using the GP circuit is TV. It would require a lot more cameras to cover the full circuit, and with that would involve extra cost for the TV company so not really an option.
