CoW can't pay up.

anyone really surprised??

Wouldn't surprise me if Dorna just fucked the British round of the GP off the calendar now in light of this

At £90 for just a Sunday ticket, I don't think it would be hugely missed.

Me and the gf went to Catalunya for the weekend for the same price of a weekend ticket for Silverstone

Sadly I have to agree. I went to Silverstone last year after Snozzeltoff was kind enough to give me a spare guest pass he had. Although it was a great day out I don't think I could have stomached the price if I'd had to pay it.

if there is no track they will have no choice
and unless silverstone step it unlikely they would race anywhere else

CoW are really fucking things up.

The whole project reminds me of the last time Donny tried to revamp their circuit.

I suspect Dorna will increase the price for the CoW to hold the event when (if) they are ever ready, or not offer it at all.

Wankers

Good question but seeing as Donigton Park does actually exist and CoW are still a figment of peoples imagination I know which way I lean on this. DP were basically asked by CoW to do them a favour but CoW didn't want to stump up much cash?????

They should have it at Cadwell instead!

Gonna be at silverstone for the next two years according to the Bennetts news feed!

it is better now but it's flat and boring IMHO, fast yes without a doubt but plus rubbish for viewing.

I dont understand the bashing Silverstone gets, after being there the for all of the motogps its held recently
I think the viewing its canny good, the last corner at luffield, club, becketts and new complex section offer great views
Track its too long and would like some height changes but has provided some great racing in all the classes

Years ago for the wsb with that micky mouse chicane and shortened national track it was crap but ive enjoyed Silverstone
