Autosport is reporting that the track currently being favored for the 2002 running of the British GP is Donington, in sunny Leicestershire. Apparently Brands Hatch Leisure, which holds the rights to staging the BritGP from 2002 onwards, is still waiting for gov't approval to begin the necessary massive overhaul necessary at Brands, and though Donington is also in dire need of rehab to make it conform to FIA specs, BHL feels Donington has a better chance of getting it done by the 2002 race date than Brands Hatch. http://www.autosport.com

This would be no bad thing, considering the marvellous race in the rain in 93. Senna forever! Barton Brown <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

This would be good. Donington is a far better spectator and driver track than Silverstone - the track could do with being a bit wider though, especially on the Redgate->Coppice section. Access is better than Silverstone as well. - Michael
