That would suck, Silverstone is crap compared to the Don, as far as bikes are concerned.

While thinking about this, I had a great idea. Send all of the current Motogp riders to the IOM TT. They would stop complaining about safety and start appreciating how far safety regulations have improved. So many of the classic tracks have been altered to become boring. It's OK to improve safety, but at the same time, many riders complain that certain tracks have lost their character, Assen being a prime example. Send them aroung the TT circuit with the likes of Mc Guiness, they would soon see reason. A track like the Don, is a classic track, and should not give way to a boring F1 style track like Silverstone IMO.

Silverstone might be okay with the bikes. They should add it as a second UK round instead of replacing Donnington.
