Silverstone sold
Not strictly F1 news I admit, but still relevant:
Silverstone, the home of British motor racing, has been sold - raising the prospect of a new business and technology park being built beside the famous circuit, The Independent has learnt.
The identity of the buyer of the Northamptonshire race track, which is home to the Formula One British Grand Prix, is unknown, but is believed to be a real estate firm.
Might actually see this masterplan progressing.

Silverstone haven't sold out - only a leasehold for property development to turn it into a technology park.
Still, most of the money is likely to end up in Bernie's retirement fund, sorry, CVC's coffers.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

As I understand Silverstone is owned by the BRDC which is a non-profit organisation?
