Back on topic: equally, I can't see Renault World Series wanting to abandon the busiest venue of the year.
The issue AFAIK is down to circuit hire fees.

It was Graham Goodwin on Radio Le Mans, that was saying that Silverstone was not certain to get a round of the WEC. But I`m with you, apart from the astroturf issue, this years event was stunning, so fingers crossed.
Very short sighted of silverstone, if it is an issue with circuit fees, as over the years the RWS must have been the best advert silverstone could have for attracting new people to the sport. And the chance to tempt them back to events where silverstone does get the gate money.
I really hope circuit fees is not the issue, and that its some other short term reason like the olympics, and we get it back in 2013
