| Lord R,
Please allow me to ppint out a few points your staff may have overlooked when you asked them to look into buying Silverstone.
The current owners, those spiffing chaps at the BRDC would be only too willing to lease you the track as they would be only too happy to allow you to impose the sort of dress code they admire. DJs, for the car drivers and waxed cotton for the riders.
Silverstone has the capability to run two circuits at once hence you staff could be warming up one machine for you on one circuit while you use the other, hence there would be no chance of a minor inconvenience should they stray into your path while on a "hot" lap!!
It is possible to land fixed wing aircraft at silverstone, yes yes I know you can do that next door at Donnington but then you have to use the same roads as the general public to get into the circuit??!!
Having said all of that why buy a tattly secondhand circuit I'm sure a nice new one would look a lot better in the garden.
PS A warning to any new owner at Silverstone, Bernie would have your address and sooner or later you know that will cost you some money!!
