The Brittish GP has been saved with a new 17 year deal reached today with Silverstone.
'Silverstone has agreed a 17-year deal 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.
Under the new agreement, Silverstone will be redeveloped, with work focusing on rebuilding the pits and paddock. '

Very glad about this although it was quite likely to happen, i would guess it was more of a negotiation thing.
