|
09 March 2010 @ 10:30 GMT - Max Moore The management of the Silverstone race track said the work on the new circuit is almost complete. The 2010 British grand prix will be hosted on the new Arena circuit. They made improvements to the spectator facilities as well and everything should be done by the end of the month. The owners have invested millions to upgrade the circuit ahead of this season's race. "Work on the circuit and venue is on schedule. The team has been working around the clock, through some pretty terrible weather conditions, to make sure the circuit is ready on time," said Silverstone managing director Richard Phillips. |

"The track works at Brooklands and Woodcote are now complete, including the new run-off area for the fast entry into Pits Straight, while the major new development - the new section of circuit from Abbey, up to the Arena Complex and round to the National Straight - is also coming along nicely," he said.
"There is still a considerable amount of work going on at Silverstone, including the new elevated banks and spectator viewing areas, which will continue beyond March. Conference and hospitality buildings are also being built on the new Stowe Complex," he explained.
