Silverstone is, like a number of other UK circuits built on an old airfield and as a side-effect of that it's bound to be flat, plus as it's not surrounded by hills, it is also bound to be windy with there being no natural shelter. I only saw the race on TV but was impressed (as always) with the trouble they appeared to have taken neatly 'stripe mowing' the grass areas surrounding the circuit.
Admittedly it's never going to be a scenic as somewhere set in natural park land (like Oulton or Donington for example), or in an area like Brands Hatch, but I think they do a great job to make what they do out of what they've got. |
