Operationally, it would be so straightforward [multiple race event].” Several formula 1 Teams are based in Silverstone or the vicinity. “We have the infrastructure, and the members of the team could sleep for the most part, in the evening in their own beds,” says Pringle.
“If we could help, would be very pleased,” says Silverstone boss. Another proposal goes even one step further. And although it is about a possible second race at Silverstone could be moved in the reverse direction, to bring some variety into the matter and to provide Teams and drivers with a new challenge.
