F1: Silverstone circuit is renewed

Silverstone is an epic name for fans of racing, a track that was the scene of memorable duels and which has now become part of that small elite of tracks from the timeless appeal like Monza and Spa But even so important a plant must be in step with the times and so the British have decided to make the circuits in line with modern times one of their speed.

With an investment of 27 million pounds, created a new structure of 16,500 square meters including the pits and paddock of 30% and extends the previous one. For the opening day guests arrived at the circuit in the world of two and four wheels. These include Damon Hill, president of the British pilots, and our Valentino Rossi.

The first said: "It 's very important to everyone what we can do. There was a threat to organize the Grand Prix the other way. Other places have pulled up buildings, but now we have kept at Silverstone' advanced in the world. " While the second, after turning on the track first with a Ducati 1198 Superbike and then with the same pattern Street, said: "I'm amused, because after a few rounds with the 1198 Superbike, we had an electrical problem and we decided 1198 to use a road that led us to fly the English branch of Ducati.

I really enjoyed driving here on a beautiful track, difficult, very technical, challenging, with very fast sections, where the trajectories are important right, and other very narrow where you must have a good grip under acceleration. The first corner is completely blind, you have to keep a very precise line, but the first part is great, is what I prefer.
