MotoGP to Silverstone in 2010

It's definite - Donington Park to lose British Grand Prix

Tweet
Posted: 9 January 2009
by Visordown News

AN INSIDE source in the MotoGP racing scene has confirmed this afternoon that Silverstone will host the British Motorcycle Grand Prix from 2010.

Last year Visordown gave you the inside line that the move from Donington Park to the Northamptonshire-based circuit was on the cards. Today we can confirm the move is definite.

The news comes following this morning's announcement that Donington Park is to gain Formula One.

So it's all change then. Should make for great MotoGP racing.

Yeah fantasic 28 laps of a flat boring circuit that you can see all of 30 feet no matter what point of the track you stand at. (sarcasm mode off)

i dont understand this, Donnington is about to be transformed from a great circuit into what looks like a fantastic circuit, and they move it to Silverstone weird.

however i remember when the superbikes used to race on the full silverstone circuit, and that allways made for great racing, only spoiled when they switched it to the inside track

should still be good but why not stay at donny?

"Should make for great MotoGP racing."  Really?  Why?

Doningtons best bits have always been highly regarded by both riders and spectators. By eliminating the silly Foggy Esses and adding the new infield loop they're finally making it the great circuit it always had the potential to be. 

It isn't about us spectators though (reference the crowds at Qatar) it's just about money and Dorna.  The way Carmelo Ezpeleta and the MSMA have been running things they may have killed the whole thing by 2010.

I would not worry by 2010 there will  be only about 10 bikes on the grid.
