Silverstone "back on track"

"Silverstone owners, the British Racing Drivers’ Club and Bernie Ecclestone's FOA announced Thursday that they have signed a contractual and financial agreement to secure the British Grand Prix at Silverstone for the next five years."

Finally, some good news today. It would have been a crime not to have Silverstone as part of the F1 circuit because of bickerings between Bernie Ecklestone and the British Racing Driver's Club - the latter owning Silverstone. So Silverstone is not the most up-to-date F1 facility. Who's got $200 million in British pounds to spend on new facilities like the Bahrain circuit and the Shanghai International Circuit in China?

F1 is still the one of the top sporting attractions in all of the U.K. and most of the F1 drivers love the circuit. It just needs a little lovin' is all =)
