Not wishing to rain on the parade, but with that purchase price someone is going to have to pay for it, in either higher rights fees or TV deals, which ends up passed back to all of us in ticket prices or ppv TV. Maybe Liberty will finally unlock the US market and corporates and that will be the new cash cow?
Or maybe they will find out how to make money from social media, in which case can they let twitter know as they haven't!
They can't fit anymore races on the calendar, I would suggest that everywhere that can genuinely afford to build a track and fund a GP has already done it. Sell out races like Silverstone are at the peak of ticket prices and capacity and still barely make the race pay and the fees go up every year.
BE has already plastered most races with sponsors already.
I don't want to be sceptical but where is the growth going to come from?
Thoughts?
