Silverstone is a great track to drive, though the current version rather poorer than the previous.
The big problem is always the same. The place is run by the blazer-wearing brigade totally for the blazers only. Everyone else is an annoyance. Hence the appalling new pits, hence the money spent on the clubhouse, hence the lack of a crossing to the pits, hence the closure of the centre to the paying public, hence the lack of business-sense and not making money despite all their advantages etc. etc. etc. |

Simply put, it is an atrocious venue
And I live within 40 miles, and rarely go there. Whereas if I led that close to Cadwell, Brands or Snetterton I would be a regular at all sorts of meetings. Enjoyed the blazer wearing comment, I do feel that too. And hence they don't get my dollars! |

Hmm, in defence of the "suits" they do a lot to support up and coming drivers and of course they support a number of championships, but let's not allow facts get in the way of jealousy.
