Silverstone GP 'Bridge' circuit gone...

[Tim the Grey]

This is by way of a link to the Trackside Forum.

It would seem the Classic is using the Arena layout next year?

The 'classic' Bridge circuit licence will not be renewed, it seems.

Great shame.

It's disappointing from a spectator and photography point of view. Losing the Abbey chicane, Bridge and Priory with the only gain the Jurassic fenced Arena section .

I hope Silverstone will use common sense and when they are running on the Arena circuit and actually open at least one of the Arena grandstands, unlike some days this season.

What is the Arena circuit?

[Michael Birch]

DD concluded and the Arena layout is the new GP circuit.

I agree. the 'Harley' stand after Bridge was one of the best vantage points available.At last years Classic the new stand at Maggots/Becketts was open on Friday morning and then locked for the rest of the event. Its been said before that Silverstone is deteriorating from a photography perspective (this is not a pun) but its all too true

Has it actually been confirmed? Or just speculation?
