I think Thruxton is far too dodgy for several reasons. Yes the tyres, also the driver standard, you can eff up at Silverstone or Donington and not really get too badly hurt, Thruxton however is a very tricky track to learn and master, there are all sorts of lines that can work and throw in multi class to that you have a recipe for disaster with some of the distinctly average driving talent that pays its way there.
I think Combe is similar, even though that would be fabulous.
Arguably Knockhill could work but again perhaps too small. Maybe Anglesey even, though they seem reluctant to have anything other than club stuff there for all sorts of reasons. I think Silverstone is a joke in terms of not hosting much, they only give a toss about 1 week of the year these days, so in many ways good riddance, but their approach to anything other than f1 in recent years is almost sinister.
I am amazed they race at Oulton, really if you can race there usually when it's wet, why can't you manage some other equally scary venues!
In the end this is probably all about SRO and hosting fees aswell.
