?????
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.
Wales isn't even a real country anyway, they should STFU.

The Welsh Government have said no to the current deal as they think it's a risk to the taxpayer.

The bloke behind the project was in the news the other day because the contractors had been billed £33,000 for landscaping works at his private home.

Re: Circuit of Wales deal about to collapse?
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.

All over. Welsh government have withdrawn their support and are looking at an investigation into how their money has been wasted.
