Brdc Looks For Silverstone Investment
The British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) has released details of its plan to attract commercial investment for Silverstone race circuit and its 760-acre estate.
The BRDC owns the track and is one year into its 17-year deal to host F1’s British Grand Prix.
Work on the new pit lane and paddock complex is in the final stages of construction in time for the 2011 F1 season.
PricewaterhouseCoopers have been hired by BRDC to attract investment for a series of new projects including a hall of fame, academies, hotels, as well as an international-standard kart track.
BRDC chairman Stuart Rolt said: ‘The commercial potential of Silverstone and the estate is significant.
‘With the new circuit, new pit and paddock complex and other existing key motor sport developments all funded, the time is right for the BRDC to consider potential investment from third parties who share our vision and can help us realise the full potential of Silverstone more rapidly.’
The 2011 F1 British Grand Prix will take place on 10th July.
