Donington is great, but I think that Silverstone is better for these cars. Let’s them stretch their legs a little more.

Agree Totally! It is far too narrow for multi-class racing.

Lamborghini has made promises and believe they chose Ligier so they have it to themselves. Nothing public I've seen other than the motor I think.


Risi is the usual "we would love to run a car (if someone buys us one and pays us to race it) in the future" and the eternal IMSA optimism that Risi is back.

I'd go for Silverstone as it's much closer to me and I know it a lot better. I confess I've only ever been to Donington twice....

latest rumor is that the ACO is considering a British Le Mans Series during the summer with a similar set up to their Asian LMS: 2 races at each track on back to back weekends. Should keep everybody happy!

I know the road conditions get a bit poor in the UK sometimes with potholes everywhere - but crater curves - that would be a sight to behold!!

Then the 12 hours comes and I kind of feel like I'm already fatiguing a little bit from watching the WEC the day before.

I'm sure it's an incredible event to go to if you're there, but if we're doing double-headers, I'd rather it was at a new event with a Saturday/Sunday format.

As for Middle Eastern rounds, I see them as a necessary evil. The unforgivable aspect is the lack of a UK round.
Not much wrong with Friday but they should start later, for example at 19.00h CET. Race becomes shorter but I prefer that over missing start of the race.

I was thinking a similar thing about Le Mans. Starting early in the morning is fine, but it’d be good for it to last longer on Sunday morning. So I think it should start 1pm ET.

Back to the old days. 1980s we had Silverstone in April, Le Mans in June and Brands Hatch in September, group C racing. Happy days

This volume could well be the same magnitude as those who watch online or on telly. So it should be considered in that light.

Not keen on shorter races either. The people are there because these are proper races.
Yes I have friends who go, and say it is brilliant.
The sad thing is I am planning to go to Sebring in 2024 and was hoping to be able to see the double header...

2 sets of proper pits at Silverstone and with proper pit lane entrances.

4 hour race like last one there too short. Some safety car drivers do more than that!

I really miss the Silverstone WEC race. It was always something to look forward to, either in preparation for Le Mans or afterwards, depending on the calendar. I know there are plenty of Silverstone haters, but on a good day it was great to walk around and spectate from all around the track. Plus we always made it a full weekend with a couple of nights at the local Travelodge with two evenings of curry..... Good times.

Agreed. We used to do something similar. Stayed at Travelodge Towcester Silverstone and go into Towcester in evenings. Was good to walk around the circuit. The long walk to the wing paddock or bus was a pain though.

Hopefully we see them back at Silverstone in 2024. But I am not so sure they only seem interested in F1 and MotoGP as others have said in different threads / posts.

All you have to do is let them see the names of the manufacturers that not only will be running, but those that are coming by'26, and Silverstone's management will be hard pressed to find a reason not to sign up. Let them see the numbers of fans and general public that show up not only at Le Mans, but Spa and Monza, and just watch a deal get done.

The way this is going, you have two choices on this,... Get on the bandwagon or get left behind. And who wants to be explaining that to the press, the public, or the boards of directors...

By 2026 manufacturers are pulling out.

I’m not sure it is solely down to Silverstone not wanting a race. There are other places to go for the series unfortunately.

I think from what I understand with Silverstone, they want to much money.

Believe same reason GT World Challenge stopped going there.
