Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Britain Near bankruptcy : Will Britsh GP be cancelled?

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

Regarding the original post about the British GP....
 
I read that Donnington Park has finally received planning permission (which  
is local government approval required for any building project big or small in 
 the UK) to start the work to host the GP in 2010. Now Francis may want to 
jump  in here but I would say we both know Donnington really well and the 
amount 
of  work they have to do to get it up to GP spec is incredible. I can't see 
it  happening. Access is appalling, a narrow two lane road which will never be 
able  to hold the traffic.
 
The latest plan is that people will be forbidden to drive to the GP and  will 
have to take public transport. (which except for bus's doesn't exist)
 
I don't think the GP will be cancelled because of the economy but maybe  
Bernie cancels it because Donnington will never get up to spec in time and  
Silverstone has lost it after this year.
 
Take a look on Google Earth and check out the access to Donnington  Park.
 
Any Listers in the USA ever been to Silverstone? I am sure a few of you  
have....Ever been to Donnington Park?
