2018 British MotoGP cancelled
« on: 26 August 2018, 18:33:09 »

Water retention on the resurfaced track made it too dangerous to race due to aquaplaning. Safety has quite rightly taken priority. Rabat broke his leg in 3 places in a crash in a wet Moto2 final practice yesterday. :'(

As the race was moved from drier July to one of our wettest months in the UK due to Caribbean storms regularly crossing the Atlantic and dropping large amounts of rain, will this become the norm as the track is now unsuitable for heavy rain races or Silverstone make improvements to cater for this common weather, or will they move the race back to drier July? :-[

I should point out, it has been mullering it down all day, and early afternoon, it was proper rain for ages.

They finally cancelled at 4pm.
I would like to think that the useless shower of shite who run Silverstone will lose high profile racing events in the future because of it, but they wont. They are too well connected for that.
I have always considered Silverstone to be a dump run by morons who couldn't give a toss about the paying public, and each of my rare visits there have reinforced this view.
The only reason I attended the Grand prix there last month was to see the best driver since Senna do his thing. If he wasnt driving I would have flogged the tickets and banked the money.
