Piece of history saved...for now

"The British Grand Prix will be at Silverstone for the next five years after a deal was signed today between Formula One and the circuit's owners.

Silverstone is the birth place of Formula 1. It will be a sad day when it will be dropped out of Formula 1 calendar. And I believe it will be, unless it finds new investors. New modern racetracks are opened around the world; hundreds of millions is spend to build these high-tech tracks. I wonder why Silverstone haven't been able to find investors to bring back its glory and give it the needed facelift.

Has England become the back country of racing?
