The British Grand Prix could wind up at Donington Park next season if Silverstone landlord, the British Racing Drivers' Club, does not manage to do a deal with the consortium hoping to rescue the event.

Brand Synergy MD Kim Cockburn has said that what matters to the group is the preservation of the event, not necessarily where it is held, and, while Silverstone remains the first choice of venue, Donington could easily be substituted for the Northamptonshire circuit.

"We have an agreement to sign the contract for the British Grand Prix for seven years, and will be signing as soon as Bernie [Ecclestone] and I can get together," Cockburn insisted in Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, despite neither Ecclestone nor BRDC CEO Alex Hooton confirming that a deal is in place, "Wherever the race is, we will have to build a new pit and paddock complex, so it does not matter whether it is at Donington or Silverstone."
