The Problem within British Motorsport?
We are all aware that there is a problem in sustaining British Motorsport.... in filling the grids and and finding the marshals.
HAS BERNIE ECCLESTONE 'HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD' WHEN HE SAID THAT " It is run by a gentlemens club ! ) ? |

Depends on who you think is "running" it, I guess?

Anyway Bernie, shouldn't you be posting under your own name? Blackadder? |

When British Motorsport falls completely under Jonathan Palmer's control maybe things will be better?

The problem, I suspect, is that no-one is running all of it, and no-one is prepared to stand up and be counted. So lots of people are running bits of it to keep going for the time being, with no long-term planning, no view of the overall picture and no responsiblilty for anything. the buck, like a Silverstone Hare, doesn't have the faintest idea where to stop.
Anyway, how would Bernie Ecclestone recognise a gentleman? |
