Prodrive will rule! Well maybe not, but they'll do themselves proud.

Am I missing something? Prodrive submitted a planning application to Warwick District Council (or Solihull ,whichever) to develop their existing Kenilworth site with a couple of new buildings (F1 factory), but last I heard they were having trouble getting it approved. They've already got a fair bit of tarmac which they currently use for private testing and "driver experience" days.

Don't hold me on that, I think they wanted to make a new track using bits of the old one…

I was under the impression that there were plans to change the 'Kenilworth' track from a glorified airfield and into a test track suitable for F1 cars, although that wasn't part of this planning application of which SiY speaks. However, if the great crested newts get there way, there won't be any such thing happening….I kid you not: link !

Badgers and muntjacks? They're as common as muck! Fecking NIMBYs need nuking.
