A great place for a great motor race

The deal struck between Liberty Media and the bosses at Silverstone Circuit, which was announced last Wednesday as Motorsport News

the shelves, meant everyone involved could breath a huge sigh of relief.

The months of discussion and negotiation resulted in a solution that was agreeable to each party. It wasn’t an easy road, by any means, but one which mea

that the race is now financially viable and can continue to at least 2024.

It doesn’t mean that the issue has been put to bed for good though, and the track bosses will start to work now on what the next deal, the one after the new

one expires, might look like. There is pressure on every race at the moment in terms of revenue and, with several other countries eager to join the grand prix

merry-go-round, the calendar will become increasingly squeezed.

The Silverstone situation is clear for now, and the British Grand Prix has been saved, but the work on the next chapter has to start now.
