BTCC STATEMENT: SILVERSTONE
This follows a statement by Silverstone circuit earlier
today in which it said it could not understand the reasons
why it had been left off the 2007 Dunlop MSA British Touring
Car Championship calendar.
BTCC Series Director Alan Gow comments: “The reasons
for Silverstone not being on our 2007 calendar were made perfectly
clear by us, in writing to Richard Phillips, some three days
ago (on 04/12/06). Receipt of our correspondence was acknowledged
by the management of Silverstone.
“Those same reasons were also clearly stated to them
in previous, and subsequent, telephone conversations between
the two parties.
“Therefore, I am completely at a loss as to why Silverstone
feels it does not understand the reasons behind our decision
– when, in fact, it has been fully aware of them for
some days.”
