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

[francis newman (francis]

Who knows Britt

The revised layout of Donington (one n btw) looks great. But I just  
can't see it happening. They are relying on debentures to finance it  
and they haven't even launched that yet. Very depressing.
The bus shuttle into the circuit is all very well in theory, but in  
practice it won't work IMHO. Just an excuse by Bernie to go to a  
country that will p[ay him more money. India has just been announced  
as a definite for 2011. Another country with an impeccable motor  
racing heritage - not :-(
