F1 » Dennis doubts Donington economics, access

I totally agree with Ron! It''s just not going to work. They might get the circuit ready but the infrastructure that goes with it just won''t be there, not like at Silverstone, it''s just the Dwarfs way of getting rid of the British Grand Prix and making money out of it. I don:t doubt Simon Gilletts enthusaism, but sadly I think his dreams will be crushed.
As for public transport ...... erm, dream on

this is really old news crash. This was reported on other websites last week. These comments were made ages ago.

All this because of Bernie's little p*ssing match with the BRDC.

There is little prospect of Donington raising the money to finance the F1 project. Plus now that Donington have lost the MotoGP to Silverstone they are well and truly stuffed. Donington may have to revert back to a national event circuit. The F1 will continue at Silverstone. Ecclestone dare not remove the British F1.

I'm hedging my bets and have extended my fishing license for the pool at Mallory Park so I have guaranteed access for when the GP moves there

I am glad that we don't have to worry about RD's access to the circuit. I was really concerned for him possibly having to sit in traffic. He is such a knob.

Seriously, how are RD's comments supposed to help secure funding or enthusiasm for this venture? If he really wants there to be a British GP, then he should make positive comments or keep his trap shut.

Jesus christ in a Nissan Sunny!! It really took him that long to work it out? Obviously he's never been to the British Moto GP.....

I agree Mark. This Donington project is the best hope for a British GP and we should all support it. I don't know where all the money is coming from but I believe the plan is serious and has serious (money) backing.

But I do worry if there is bad weather - helicopters don't fly in bad weather - Ron Dennis will be pissed off if he has to get on a bus!

I applaud Gillet for his efforts, I fear He's too dependent on other Peoples money. Busing Fans to an F1 Race! Greenest thing I've heard so far Let's hope he succeeds

Ron is right to question certain aspects of the move to Donington. First the debenture question - that is a suck it and see whether there are sufficient people prepared to risk £10 or £15k and risk it will be. On a personal note - only public transport for access ? No way for me. Think about the problems - how do you carry food , drinks, clothing for the "stable" British climate , some form of portable seat etc onto a bus etc. Plus - from where do the buses start and will there be sufficient car parks at those points? Then getting away after the event ................
I shall stay at home in France and watch it on t.v. At least the French GP organisers
realised it''s all going mad and qui
