The locals there are desperate for it to happen.

Who joys, maybe now Bernie has gone things could be easier.

I hope it goes ahead, shame it'll be located in one of the dampest bits of the U.K. - like going to Portimao, make sure you take wets!

The private company behind this white elephant have just been caught using £7 million of Taffy.gov money to pay off unrelated existing debts.

This appears to have been done just to keep them solvent in the hope that they can go and hit up the private sector for hundreds of millions in more loans.

The phrase "good money after bad" leaps unbidden to mind.

Reminder: construction was supposed to start in 2013 and be finished by 2015. They've been paying Dorna for the rights for the British MotoGP rights since 2014 and are tied into doing so until 2024, regardless of whether they ever put a shovel in the ground, which they haven't yet.
