SILVERSTONE ARENA GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT OPENED TODAY



Silverstone officially opened its new Arena Grand Prix circuit with the promise of a great venue for spectators and a big challenge for drivers.The revised Silverstone Arena Circuit, which will hold the 2010 British Grand Prix, was formally opened today by the Duke of York in a ceremony at the track.

BRDC President Damon Hill drove the Duke around the circuit. Current and past F1 drivers were on hand for the unveiling of the track including Mark Webber and David Coulthard. David Coulthard became the first person to drive an F1 car around the new circuit after its official opening, piloting the Red Bull running showcar. His first impressions of the new section were positive and he feels the track has retained its high-speed character.
