MOTOGP » British MotoGP moves to Silverstone

avtec been there its s-ite

Why oh why does everyone keep saying Moto GP is to fast for Brands when WSB is almost on par these days !!!!
I bet the villagers of Silverstone are crapping themselves already as well, don't expect the pub to be open that weekend.

i nearly pissed myself laughing when they said “Silverstone is the UK´s premier motor racing venue" haha what a load of rubbish and that's been kind to the track where the corners like "craner curves", "paddock hill", "dingle dell and sheene". Dorna can go to hell

It dont matter if its at Donnington or Silverstone-- after good close race at any track we are happy--after a procession at any track we are bored. But if you want to go to a track with decent facilities,go abroad-- I never go in this country now. But who will be interested by 2010 anyway? Rossie will probably be gone by then, small grids, no Eurosport, clueless BBC presenters, 125 and 250 2strokes replaced by some boring complicated meaningless 4cylinder/4stroke formula (BBC wont cover that anyway), stupid knee jerk rule changes every year. I can see the whole thing getting less interesting and deminishing, while WSB gets better

i dont know why were thinking were going to get any close racing out of gp's this year, but we still hope anyway.
Im looking forward to WSBK this season as much as i was back in 2001, i think it'l be amazing. GP is looking woeful.

@SIMMO - ive been looking for that too, but no luck.

did anyone read Camerlo Ezpeleta's interview on autosport about cost cutting?? it amounted to taking off carbon brakes (which we can buy for the road now!) and cutting friday practice. Just how can this guy be in charge!!!
I think DORNA needs removing fast. The MSMA needs to step up with there own championship they threatened awhile back.

Hmm - Facilities at Donington were a little lacklustre - the place is a complete pile of crap - the only good thing is the circuit (i know we all go for the racing!) but when you pay an arm and a leg to go you expect something better than a renactment of the Somme, and that's just the toilets. Silverstone has the facilities, brilliant access and with some judicious changes to the circuit could be great. At least we have still got a GP

Well Silverstone is a boring track!
Let's hope that the spectator viewing is greatly improved with £5million improvement that silverstone have to do to let MotoGP race there!
There are a few good points though, Good toilet facilities all over the circuit, good access roads (compared to Donington!).
Shame that Donington has got the F1, because now that will ruin what was a good circuit!
I will miss Donington park as a venue to go to for the MotoGP, but i will not miss the hastle of the porta loos, and getting out of the place at end of the day!
