Great news for the track day eh Nick, should see us with new pit lane garages!

Think about what you can do for the club, not what it can do for you...

Very quick response Darren to upload this info before it was announced on tv this lunchtime.
Congratulations, and personally very pleased that Silverstone has got some promises to build on.
Drive a BMW and you will have a smile on your face every time (and- drive twice as far as you need to !!)

Its great news! Would have been such a shame if we'd lost the GP all together. At least now they can put some money onto refurbs knowing they will have a contract and income to rely on.

 Great News of the 17 year contract, WITH a getout clause at 10years, no doubt if the price of a ticket in 2020  would have to be £500 to pay back Silverstones annual payment, they will pull out.
 
To ME I feel so sad that Donington has been a pawn in Bernies little scam to pressure silverstone  and a million times worse, is that the wheatcrofts have been taken to the cleaners on a dream that could never be!!! Harry-RIP.
 
WE now have a circuit that has lost the MoTo GP and is not in the condition to take US for a trackday ---or all the racing events that all fans enjoyed.
 
I like Donington as a drivers circuit  with great DNA--Hope we can return soon.
