Oct.21 (GMM) The Silverstone circuit has announced a million dollar profit for 2008.
Vying to retain the British grand prix next year amid new venue Donington's reported troubles, managing director Richard Phillips said: "We remain one of the few venues in the world that produce a small profit from our blue riband event."Meanwhile, there are frantic efforts at Donington Park to beat Bernie Ecclestone's Friday deadline to remedy its breach of the 2010 GP contract.A spokeswoman for the local Derby Telegraph said an announcement on Friday is likely, with boss Simon Gillett "optimistic" in his attempt to attract enough eleventh-hour investors to fund the circuit renovation.
