Silverstone might get last chance at British Grand Prix
Silverstone may be allowed to step in if Donington Park do not comply with stipulated criteria set out when the British Grad Prix was given to the circuit organisers Donington Ventures Leisure. The company had until the end of September to prove it has funds in place and has fulfilled legal and planning constraints to develop the circuit to meet current standards. It has however up till now not provided any assurances that this is in place.
Motor racing at Donington Park stopped last month so the proposed development could take place. Unconfirmed reports state that Donington boss Simon Gillett has only two weeks to remedy the problems before Silverstone will be given its opportunity at holding the premier event in the UKs motor racing calendar.
