f1 in donny!

Not gonna happen!!
As it is Donnington is getting in the region of £100 million to upgrade from private investors, Silverstone would need similar but doesn't have the financial backing.

Damon/Stewart made very sad comments - bitter and twisted springs to mind

Im sorry to disagree, but donny is a rubbish circuit that will need millions of pounds to update it, unfortunatly silverstone has been loosing the F1 for some time now. suffice to say, I wont be going

the one hundred million to update Donnigton is in place - Bernie has met the financiers - FACT!

Hi,
well, being walking distance (5 miles but do-able, possibly even pushbike) away from donington - i think it will be great, i am going to apply to be a marshall/steward or whatever they need!
however, as my caravan lives 10 mins away - don't think i will be getting it out that weekend - traffic will be at a standstill.
may have to consider having a bbq after the race!
regards
ela

More to the point how does this affect the tor show in feb?

I love Donnington as a circuit and go there to watch bike races as often as I can. Unfortunately, I fear that after they've spent 100million making it F1 friendly it will lose the appeal as a bike circuit ~ too wide, no adverse cambers and no hump under the Dunlop bridge. I'm not even sure that an F1 car could get around the hairpin.
If we're talking about circuits that have hosted GP's before then why not Castle Combe or (dare I say it) Brands Hatch?
