Silverstone sign 17-year deal for British Grand Prix
Silverstone has been warned it needs to modernise its facilities

Silverstone has agreed a 17-year contract to host the British Grand Prix from 2010.
The Northamptonshire circuit stepped in to stage the coveted Formula 1 race after Donington Park lost the rights.
Donington was awarded a 17-year deal to host the showpiece event but failed to generate the necessary funds.
More to follow.
SciFiBoy says: great news, cant wait for the new season and im delighted there is still a british GP and also that its at silverstone which is one of my fave tracks.
