Who would have thought it?

Seems the developers not only wanted £32 million of Welsh Government money but also for them to underwrite the whole £350 million that the project would cost.

Jokers.

I've seen the runours on Twitter. I can't say I'm surprised. It's very ambitious at a time when money is scarce.

Hope gp goes back to donny to be honest.

Could have been a great track

Donnys a great track but the facilities are awful

I think MotoGP will stay at Silverstone, unless they drop the UK

I would love to see Motogp bikes blasting down paddock hill bend at Brands Hatch but I know it's never going to happen

Paddock hill bend is awesome,silverstones all corporate and stuff but a bit boring on a bike imo

Me to, it's a real man's/woman's track!

I heard that world supers were going back to Brands , if they can surely motogp can , but I'd like it to return to Donington , they are spending money , the suites on Kraners have gone and I imagine when they have finished the remodelling they'll spend some cash on the facilities

Brands is a great track i agree

Last time o watched moto GP at don't it took over three hours to get out of the car park it was carnage,worth it though to see the goat blitz everyone

I've never been to Brands

It's my second favourite track after Cadwell

I love cadwell awesome track really enjoy it

It's the only track I've ever been on in the fast group, and managed a 58 second lap with the Daytona.

I'm not that quick on the track, so quite proud of that

I find brands dull to watch. Im sure its great to ride. But then most traxks are

It's a shame the access and the spectator infrastructure is so poor at Donny, it's got fantastic topography, is in the middle of the U.K. and is close to the M1, with the right investment it could easily be the best track in the UK.

Brands is fun and challenging to ride, but it's so over subscribed by bikers in the SE, the cost is prohibitive and when you are out there's rarely clear space to enjoy riding the track, but make no mistake Paddock is both exhilarating and scary, I've seen some horrific pile ups with people that just got it slightly wrong, just like the Old Hairpin at Donny. But when you get it right at speed, it's the best there is.
