Rent row puts British GP in doubt

The future of the British grand prix was hanging in the balance last night after it emerged that the company holding the contract to stage the race at Donington Park from 2010 is being sued for almost £2.5m in outstanding rent.Even more seriously, the circuit owners – Wheatcroft and Son, a building developer – are seeking as part of the legal action started at Derby County Court yesterday to cancel the 150-year lease they granted to the track operators, Donington Ventures Leisure Ltd.DVL last summer signed a long-term contract with Bernie Ecclestone, the formula one commercial rights holder, to stage the race, but the operator has been denied vital revenue after events had to be cancelled because the track was not given a safety certificate and plans to raise funds through a debenture scheme were put on hold last month by the chief executive, Simon Gillett.Work to upgrade the circuit in anticipation of a formal FIA track inspection later in the year has been in progress for months, but the latest developments cast doubt on Donington's ability to host the race. Ecclestone has said that if the event does not take place at Donington, the British grand prix will be struck from the calendar and that returning to Silverstone was not an option. However, Damon Hill, the 1996 world champion who is president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, the owners of Silverstone, hinted that the Northamptonshire track would not write off the possibility of the race returning."Our position is that the BRDC are very interested in the future of the British grand prix," he said. "If Donington Park can fulfil that role, we are very supportive of that. If they cannot, then we are open to using Silverstone if necessary."Ecclestone said he was unhappy at the latest turn of events but insisted he was not worried: "I don't worry about anything to be honest with you," he said. But the championship leader, Jenson Button, is concerned about the possible loss of his home grand prix. "I don't live in the UK, I live in Monaco, but I'm very British and very patriotic and it would be a disaster," the Brawn driver said.Kevin Wheatcroft, of Wheatcroft and Son, said: "Donington Ventures Leisure has owed us nearly £2.5m in rent dating back to September 2008. Despite receiving numerous assurances over a number of months they have consistently failed to meet their financial obligations under the terms of the lease. We have held off taking legal action as long as possible but have been left with no choice."Formula oneMotor sportguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
