You guys are lamenting the inevitable.
The situation at Silverstone is nowadays that the circuit offers a club like the VSCC a date and then the club can either take it or leave it, no negotiation.
The circuit is just as happy to sell the tracktime as trackday, which means no noise problem und similar revenue.
Add to that the complication of available "noisy" dates which is what the VSCC needs for that event (especially the Grand Prix cars of all ages) , that sometimes need to be stretched over a period of time even Silverstone is not as flexible as You might assume.
On top of that nobody can be sure of any date even in April at Silverstone until the F1 calendar is fixed because all the other events get pushed around that date and the backlash concerns the entire season.
So if You organise a road rally You might just not bother to check and wait until December because You might have You own timeline to consider.
The truth is:
We are spoilt for choice.
Enjoy that !
And stop moaning
