The administrators say that they hope to sell the company's assets to someone with "vision" who will bring F1 to the circuit.

There is literally no way the Grand Prix deal can be salvaged. I'd be amazed if the circuit can be salvaged.

Very likely. And it's probably also very likely we won't even see F3, BTCC etc there next year if no money can be coughed up just to tidy it up.

As far as I can recall, you are correct. They made a mess of it a while ago.

I find it amazing that they even attempted to get a F1 race at Donington given the precarious financial position they were in. Plus it shows Bernie's greed as well; giving the race to a circuit that wasn't even in a position to host the race, I don't understand why he would ever want F1 to move to Silverstone!?!?!

Can't wait for this race at Donington.
Its looks so promising

Joke? haha.
Far from promising. They'll be lucky to ever get a Grand Prix again at Donington after this stunt. Gillett is a complete idiot, I blame him. :banghead:

Now he's ruined the chance of there being a British GP at all next year!!

British GP - his fault

Kimi leaving F1 - his fault
Gloabal warming - his fault
