Silverstone secures British GP

Today, Silverstone finally signed a 17 year contract to host the British Grand Prix.

I wonder if they can financially make it work.

About time, I wonder how much improvements will need to be made, and if they can really afford to pay the greedy big glassed git

The poison dwarf reluctantly condescended to a temporary one year maximum deal, once his Donington dream had evaporated.

BRDC wanted a minimum of 5 years to make it viable. And they bickered and bartered- and finished up with 17 years...

And 5% increment each year? Has Bernie seen the current Inflation and Base Rates, FFS?

Funny old game, innit?
