MotoGP: British GP to Silverstone in 2010

Donington Park to lose Brit GP after Northamptonshire circuit secures premier motorcycle event for 2010

Visordown Motorcycle News
Alterations will be made to comply with FIA demands

INSIDE SOURCES have told visordown news that Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire is to host the British Motorcycle Grand Prix from 2010.

Apparently the Northamptonshire-based track has secured the prestigious motorcycle racing event after an agreement was reached between FIA safety officials and the track's owners about Bridge Corner - the fast right-hander leading up to the new Luffield complex - as it was deemed unsafe for MotoGP competition. Modifications are to be made over the next two years, to make the ultra-fast right hander comply with the FIA's requests.

Present hosts of the event, Donington Park, had no comment to make on the developments when we phoned them earlier today.
