I have just read the proposal with disbelief. I could understand the issue 5 or 6 years ago when one had to wait outside the tra for permission to enter and take up the hold with 20 other machines. Last flew in 3 years ago with an owner, no holds no waiting ,straight in with a 10.35 slot time. Now the amount of helis is down why such a big breifing for everyone, hardly needed.
It would be funny if no one attended, Silverstone needs to wise up , not only on this but its ridiculous landing fees ( 3 years ago twin squirrel £ 650 - makes Battersea seem quite cheap, talk about taking the michael )
Think this will be another nail in the coffin of punters flying in as prices will be going up !
