F1: Silverstone to Donnington?
Lear
Varsha said Donnington will invest $100 million in track improvements to get the 10 year deal for F1. Could that kind of investment be at the heart of Indy's problems with Bernie?

A few thoughts:
- Varsha's an idiot. Don't listen to him too much. The rest of the broadcast team for Speed is just fine.
- The heart of the problem with Bernie and Indy/BRDC is that Bernie is greedy. The pie is only so big, and Bernie doesn't want anyone else to have a piece of it... Let alone truly worry about the heritage of the sport.

I went with great hopes to my 1st F1 race at Indy a couple of years ago. A quarter of a million people saw a six car parade. THAT is why F1 won't be back to Indy as long as Bernie is in charge of F1. Tony George tried to make up his losses, but couldn't do it.
Many Thanks
