Hopefully theyll (SRO) come back to the UK.

Juntos · 14 Apr 2020, 14:11 (Ref:3970750)

Normal. They want to be racing in proper championships not racing by themselves in boring WEC.

I don’t doubt the UK will feature on the 2021 with either one or two events

Only reason i mentioned it was that they mentioned that if Silverstone attendances didnt approve then they might not return. - http://www.dailysportscar.com/2018/0...ock-notes.html

Add that to the fact they didnt reschedule the cancelled 2020 race makes me question if they`re actually coming back

Funny how nobody is ever bothered that nobody attends Paul Ricard for any series ever.

Thats probably something to do with the location of the SRO museum / 'Race Centre' being physically in the middle of that circuit

All those empty grandstands around Silverstone don’t help. They make the place look deserted even if there is a decent crowd.

I wonder if there is also some commercial tension. Silverstone is the only GTWC venue not open to spectators on Fridays. I asked why and was told SRO won’t pay, which means Silverstone are asking too much money.

You also cannot get around the fact that Silverstone is just plain ugly. Paul Ricard may divide opinion but it is a fabulous place to visit, a beautiful setting and with much better viewing than Silverstone. Mind you, they also have the empty grandstand problem.

No idea, I was just disappointed because it was close to home and I’d rather watch 50+ cars for 3 hours than 20 for an hour

The statement can be found here http://www.dailysportscar.com/2020/1...s-for-sro.html

As someone with no interest in E Sports I’m not sure how to feel about the teams championship potentially being decided via E Sports racing but we knew those days were going to come.

Silverstone is completely down to brexit I imagine

No WEC, ELMS, or GT Open either. Silverstone is going to be very quiet indeed

Brands Hatch is also dependent on brexit ad Magny cours spint raves are the following weekend so travel will need to be uninterrupted otherwise brands hatch goes too

Such a shame. Sports car viewing in the U.K. will go from 3-4 GT + 2 major to half or less in a year

Anyopenroad · 25 Oct 2020, 11:03 (Ref:4012729)

Brands Hatch 1-2 May will have GT Cup supporting it, which is great news.
