Silverstone to be defaced?

February 20th, 2006

Crash.net is running a story that suggests Club, Abbey and Bridge at Silverstone might be turned into a housing estate as part of the redevelopment plans. This would be a criminal error - the circuit represents a rich motor racing heritage and should not be ripped up just to line the pockets of a property development company.

As well as this, housing on site would no doubt cause problems with whinging muppets like at Monza - complaining about the noise levels.

I shall be keeping an eye on this story - I doubt I would go back to Silvertone if they actually do this. If the goverment / lottery etc would pull their finger out and support the full range of UK sport / culture all ths could be avoided.
