BRDC in talks with investor for Silverstone circuit after JLR pulls out

In April, the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) said it was in talks to lease the circuit's property to JLR, which had been considering turning the site into a "heritage centre" to show off its luxury cars.

BRDC said it could not disclose the identity of the investor due to a confidentiality agreement, and said the investor had long-established interests in the UK.

On Friday, Jaguar Land rover walked away from discussions, dealing a blow to the plans of the owners of Silverstone to boost the site's finances.

The BRDC said none of the proposed deal structures with JLR were acceptable, and a bid from Motor Sport Vision, is being held in reserve.
