Dont get your hopes up - its a typical Bernie ruse in the game he is playing with Silverstone.

Yes big plans will be drawn up and submitted and probably approved by the local authority but the massive funds to develop will never be secured privately.

Silverstone make very little money from the british GP, most of the revenue streams go elsewhere other than to the organisers, so no way will the private sector stump up 100 million for a once a year event thats produces so little profit.

Bernie knows this and you can guarantee any contract he has with Donnington will have a million and one get out clauses, even Damon Hill said the games not up yet.

Its a pity but no way will the funds materialise to make this happen in reality.
