Really really bad move Bernie, but I guess it was as much about settling personal scores as making the deal.
Absolutely right. I can't think of any way that this will be good for motor racing in Britain.

It's going to be a huge disaster. Silverstone has all the plans in place to improve facilities (and I've never been, but from what I can gather a lot has been done already improve access etc. in recent years) but Donington has absolutely nothing in the pipeline right now. I just can't imagine how on earth this is supposed to come together in 2 years. Surely it's impossible?
