[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 605745, member: 301161"] Why should the taxpayer be burdened so Silverstone can make a profit? When Tesco builds a superstore on the out of town bypass it also finances a large share of the cost of the bypass. What has Silverstone contributed to external infrastructure over the last 25 years? But it's still below the standard of a third world circuit. And again why should the taxpayer suffer the burden? The comments about the Government "[I]lining its pockets[/I]" are just a distraction which has nothing to do with what is going on at Silverstone. Rolf, I don't really see what you mean about British race fans. Formula One is just a money making machine. What the fans want is of no consequence unless it means more money can be made. As for how good Silverstone is think about this: the main base of every Formula One team is within 50 miles of Silverstone yet when it comes to testing the teams ship their cars to foreign tracks such as Barcelona. This is what the teams do individually and has nothing to do with Ecclestone. [/QUOTE]
