As I see it now, the British Grand Prix does not necessarily move to Donington in 2010. Bernie Ecclestone has entered into an agreement with a promoter to hold the British Grand Prix for a ten year period commencing in 2010. It would appear that the terms of the deal called for the promoter to pay, up front, two years annual fee which is non-returnable. I would guess this to be between £22m and £25m.It is now up to the promoter to have a venue acceptable to FOM available by 2010.The promoter’s choice is Donington, just as in the past, Nicola Foulston’s choice was Brands.
We shall see, what we shall see, when we get to late 2009.
