If it makes more profit to hire BV and have less crowd, the mercenaries who run the sport won't worry about fewer crowd numbers. It must cost an absolute fortune to put on Cardiff opposed to dropping in to a ready to go track. We have seen that they can add extra seating at little hire cost. The Pound is all they think of, sod the fans. I agree with the roof theory, that is something BV SHOULD have built, especially given their climate. I pray for Cardiff, it is a great weekend

Hi Guys, I am new on here but having read most of the posts about the 2017 British GP I thought i would throw my hat in the ring. I said this to my wife after they didn't announce the 2017 date as they usually do: I think that it will be at the new Bell Vue track, they had to see how the World Cup shaped up first. The venue is sittint there ready to go, they haven't got the expense of ripping out the heart of the stadium, or the transporting the shale etc, all the costs of running the stadium and I am sure policing etc must cost something too. With Bell Vue, they can just rock up and ride virtually, the costs would be so much less that the number of bodies to cost ratio would probaly make the event more cost effective . The longer they leave it, the more I think it will happen, they know that they will fill the venue easily, if it were to be in Cardiff, they would have been pushing it straight after the last one as they want our pounds in there bank earning as much as possible for as long as possible. I hope upon hope I am wrong as we wouldn't be going to Manchester like we have been to Cardiff for many years, the atmosphere of the whole day in the city is fantastic and we make a short break including a visit to Poole or Swindon, then Somerset. Sorry if it happens for all those who have speculated on rooms on various dates, that is a bit brave, many thanks,
