It's a great circuit, just not for F1 cars. They're going to have to extend it, so that might improve things.

Practice from Silverstone right now live on itv-f1.com if anybody is interested.

I've never seen F1 live, except on TV. Is it worth all the hassle getting there?

Silverstone is equally crap.

Possibility of MotoGP going to Silverstone though. Good for me as it's closer.

I wish all the 250,000 F1 fans well getting out of Donington on those country lanes...

Not from here it's not.

Donington will be a traffic nightmare. Expect the M1 to be one big jam in both directions as people queue to get in.

Wiki appears to be kept a tad more up-to-date than the Encyclopaedia Britannica:

On 4 July 2008 [wot is today], Bernie Ecclestone announced that Donington Park will hold the British Grand Prix from 2010 onwards in a 10-year deal.[4] The track will, in turn, also need a major upgrade to get it up to the standards required for modern day Formula One racing.

Silverstone is as much of a nightmare. I like Brands Hatch but it's almost too wee.
