Hmmm not sure on that Silverstone Layout, it will work well for MotoGP, however getting rid of Bridge

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

I am pretty sure the article said that the F1 circuit would be un-affected?

EDIT

The current F1 GP track will not be affected by the changes, so will remain available for other events.

Yup, I was right. Don't you lot read articles before commenting?

Am I not allowed to want Bridge in the MotoGP circuit too?

Surely the F1 circuit part is a mute point anyway with it going to Donny

i was posting saying it would be a good track for F1 (ie a nice change), but loosing bridge wouldnt make up for the newer parts really.

i knew it was a different layout. Silverstone has many different tracks.


oh and what is MotoGP? ive never heard of it? hehe.

Looks like Silverstone is going to have quite an interesting layout, and I am pleased they are getting at least one decent crowd swarming event during the year. Comparably it won't make as much as F1, but I am sure it will prevent the circuit from from going under/into dis-repair. Guessing the full F1 track will have predominant usage with Le Mans style events now.

Highlights at a reasonable time - and probably as a lead in to top gear!!!

Way to go auntie!

One glaring omission from the schedules: where is FP3 on Saturday mornings?

ITV didn't show them on Saturday either for some reason (on their live web feed).

I would suggest something as simple as the cameras not being on when practice 3 is.

Nah, it's shown on German Premiere on Saturday (which I used to have) and also Speed in the US I think. There is no way they'd turn cameras off for a practice session.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Didnt it used to be on the ITV webby for Sat practice?

Failing that, some german sites had it on, i am sure (RTE?)

 

[Balb0wa]

i think rtl had it on or dsf, and the pic was a lot better than itv

Ah didn't know that .

Nope, which makes me wonder why it seems to be something specific to the UK coverage?

No more clipping with those front wings!

 

[FrankJH]

So do I

Branson would only buy the team if there's money in it, but on the other hand if there's anyone who can make money out of an F1 team it's him...

and Bernie approves of a billionaire coming into the sport - ooohhh what a surprise

*****Rumour Alert*****

Honda F1 transporters spotted entering a Banbury coachwork/livery/paintshop last night!

Wonder if they've had any delivery of red paint/vinyl recently
