If Hypercars can do Long Beach, Laguna Seca and Mexico City, they definitely can do Donington Park.

I don't think WEC scheduling has anything to do with the track, IMSA doesn't care about local amenities like the FIA does. And does the WEC run at any of the 3 you listed, do any hypercar/GTPs run at Mexico City?

I also cannot really see MSV paying to host an event they might not get a crowd for, I do not really think that is an issue, but Palmer is not a fan of huge hosting fees and really only pays one, SBK, maybe also Brands GTWC, not sure. But both are nothing like as dear as WEC can command now after the two huge crowds at Imola and Spa, if you were ACO now you would be bigging up your host fee!!

Silverstone isn't the big draw it once was for the ACO, and the BRDC are happy enough with the, ahem- "premier" car and motorcycle racing series as its blue riband events.
It sucks, but outside a major change in attitude or circumstance, ACO racing isn't coming to the UK for the forseeable future. |

My only counter to that might b that the bike racing event MotoGP has seen very sever drop[s in crowds in the past couple of years. Basically since Rossi retired, the crowd dropped by 20-30 thousand. Used to be 80k or so I think last year was less than 50
He is in WEC, he would not draw that crowd but in their terms they are only really interested in paying for events that gain them huge returns it seems now, MotoGP is contracted but might be dropped after its current deal. If you are wise you are seeing what is going on right now *huge crowds at Imola and Spa) and getting on the phone. But that depends on the relationship if it is damaged, maybe not. |
