Good evening, listeners, and welcome to ChatShow. It is Saturday night, about four in the morning, Saturday the 24th of October, twenty twenty-six. I am Denzai, your moderator, and this show is about the United Kingdom, for listeners there. Tonight's question: as a Silverstone operator weighing the 2027 British Grand Prix contract, should the owners accept a higher hosting fee to keep the race on a rotating calendar, or push for a fixed annual slot, and what would that do to hotel prices in Northamptonshire? We have ten minutes, with Gupta and Milan on the panel. Gupta, you have the first angle. Before choosing between a higher fee and a rotating slot, what is a circuit owner like Silverstone actually buying from Formula One, and which revenue lines, such as tickets, hospitality and sponsorship, depend on racing every year?
