How can one 'circuit' hold the race at another??? Two years away basically means "We are smoking crack-cocaine".
Be better off investing their money to update the circuits already in existence.

Great idea, but utterly impractical given the location and road links, plus given the current economic climate it was only a matter of time before this ran out of backing from the money men. Sadly not unlike Anglesey - great track, but in the wrong place.
