Boardroom battles for Silverstone
We understand that several bids have been received in recent months and rumors suggest that those interested include Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB satellite TV network and Silverstone's rival Brands Hatch Leisure, which wants to get Formula 1 racing back to the Kentish circuit.
While many members will object to the demutualisation of the circuit, the possible profits will certainly be an incentive to a large percentage of members. One option for the club is to float the company on the London Stock Exchange.
