Joe Saward suggests that much of the funding would come from private investors, not least the landowner who owns most of the land the track is on. If so public funds would not have to be dipped into.

I see from story that the pits and facilities could be built on private land. That still leaves public roads for the actual circuit. Could someone comment on the present state of these roads, what upgrades are necessary other than repaving; example, curbs, armco barriers and so on. F1 standards are considerably higher than IRS when running street circuits in N. America. Would this not involve some outlay of public funds? I notice the mayors claim no requirement of funds, but is this realistic?
Afterall, when they are mentioning Spa and Monaco in the same breath, it is prudent to be slightly skeptical.
