British GP back to July ?

[Craig]

Got my GP programme through the mail yesterday morning. Inside it, there is a booking form for next years tickets - the provisional date shown is the traditional mid-July date. In addition, Autosport reports that the corporate income fell apart this year (shame! ) - could it be ? Will we be able to see the race without being drowned, or freezing to death ?

I, for one, bloody well hope so!

At the moment I guess it's just wishful thinking from Silverstone. No date provisional or otherwise is likely to be set for a while.

It's going to be interesting to see if we get the July date back or not.

My bet is Silverstone will be pushed to a new date nearer the Summer, but probably not the old one. After all the FIA wouldn't want to be seen to be wrong would they?

I had a mailing from Silverstone last week with a form for GP Tickets in July.

But I did hear that Bernie had bought a welly factory in Northampton.
