It was on the local TV news lunchtime today that the reason for the loss of Silverstone is because there are 19 venues wanting to run races and only 18 races available. Since Silverstone didn't want to pay Bernie his inflated price-imagine that-they have to pay HIM to be allowed to run the race-club racing we pay the circuit.........
And OZZ the reason that Silverstone-and in fact any circuit that runs F1 cars-is bumpy is BECAUSE of the cars. The braking performance of modern F1 cars is so great that they ripple the tarmac in the braking and corner entry area's-apparently the racing trucks are even worse.
