I have to go to this race..... http://planetf1.com/driver/18227/7386412/Silverstone-plans-get-council-go-ahead
Good. I hope they keep more of these traditional races. We all saw how well Turkey, Bohring, and South Korea have done this past 2-3 years.
Yep - Silverstone is a good example of a promoter (the BRDC) making it work...... I could be wrong, but am pretty sure they pretty much fund the whole mess from the ticket sales at the GP. Bernie was pissed a few years back when the BRDC built itself a palace of a headquarters building but they've since spent, and continue to spend, a *lot* on improvements. Cheers, Ian
