Although it's not as if Bernie is going to listen to anybody in the government unless they agree to provide some funding for the race. -------------------- Q: The new range is called 'Living the Dream'.

From BBC:

QUOTE

Silverstone Holdings' managing director says a deal for the track to host next year's British Grand Prix is imminent.

Donington lost the right to stage the race, and Formula 1 boss chief Bernie Ecclestone has imposed a 9 December deadline for a deal to be put in place.
Richard Phillips said he hoped the deal would be for at least 10 years.

"I don't think there are any real stumbling blocks, we're going through the last details of the deal," Phillips told BBC Radio Northampton.

"I'm pretty convinced that it will be run at Silverstone next year."

We've been planning for more than a year, we'll finish the track works in March and start on the new pits ready for 2011

"There is a lot of detail to go through, so if you make a mistake, there's a long time to repent," he added.

"You can come to high level agreements quickly, but the devil is in the detail. We're very, very close.
"We certainly would like the contract to be for more than 10 years - that's the minimum."
