it's abit worrying that for a country with our motorsport heritage we only have one circuit that is up to f1 standards and even that neesd to have plenty of money spent on upgrading it.

Donington no longer fits the standards even though it's a great circuit and i don't think they have the money to get a GP and all the upgrades done.

Brands Hatch needs to make improvements and the local council won't grant these as the locals don't want more races and trees cut down etc.

None of the other circuits are big enough for F1.

On the subjects of new circuits I don't know why they don't make a new Nurburgring or old Spa etc. With elevations and fast sweeping corners. All the new circuits are just third and fourth gear corners with a long straight and a hairpin thrown in.

It seems strange that in the old days with little money they races on circuits that were over 8 miles long and now the longest is abuot 3 miles except Spa which used to be 10 anyway.

If you could build an old style circuit with modern safety it could be the greatest in the world.
