Dont forget the fact that Tom Wheatcroft has also died, whichmeans it could be tied up in his estate for some time.
One wag this morning suggested that Bernie should come along with a few million to put it back to what it was - trouble is what would the conditions be?
Mood: Channel Swim is now a (bad) memory not a dream
Local residents must be happy. Golf course? Airport extention? Great super moto/rally car tarmac/mud track at the moment no doubt. Someone will come up with some readies - they have to (please)
Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
Not sure who is gonna take it on though. I wouldn't be so sure that Jonny Palmer's mob would want to rent it. They own Brands, Cadwell, Oulton and Snetterton (they have big plans for Snetterton) and a big autodrome at Bedford.
Donington
No Bike GP No car GP
Jonny P's mob wouldn't pay for World superbikes at Brands this year so why would they take it on if it came with Donnington?
Other Issues
Whinging locals (noise surprisingly enough) **** access for really big meetings, I know I've sat in the Queues. Noisy neighbours, the airport.
I really hope it does open again some time in the not too distant future, a great circuit.
Not sure how the ownership is currently set up but maybe Tom's recent passing does make things a bit more complicated.
What happens is that all these ideas of making money in a flash disappears.
Jeeezus, I had this credit bubble explained to me when i was 14 of an Uncle (ta very much for the yacht in Caribbean) anyone want to buy some RBS shares...much cheapness!!!
