BRDC laking resources to go it aloneA horse racing company, with no experience in motor sport, may take over the running of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
A 25-year lease for Northern Racing is proposed by the circuit`s owner, the British Racing Drivers` Club, along with plans with St Modwen Properties to totally revamp Silverstone and safeguard the future of the historic formula one race.
"We`re not equipped with the financial and other resources to undertake a development of the size and complexity required," wrote BRDC chairman Stuart Rolt in a letter to club members.
Members will get to vote on the plan later this month, but some are reportedly already opposing what they believe could jeopardise the track`s future.
