I'd agree with that - F1, Moto GP and possibly BTCC - forget everything else it's just an inconvenience.

Those are largely the reasons I don't go to Silverstone

Maybe Donington would be an option for the endurance round? It has the advantages of Silverstone (central location mainly) but not the drawbacks. Also MSV would actually promote the meeting. Moot point obviously as the calendar is already decided.
