Great crowds at Silverstone leave it for the fans!

The British Grand Prix attracted a cumulative crowd over the three days of 310,000 - including 120,000 for last Sunday's race - the highest at the Northamptonshire circuit for 15 years.

The race is now due to switch to Donington Park for next year, but the track's ongoing financial problems - not helped by the threat of a breakaway series - continues to put their plans in doubt.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and FIA president Max Mosley both also suggested during the course of the weekend Silverstone may yet host the event next season.

With the venue an overwhelming favourite with the drivers, it is becoming increasingly difficult to see Silverstone not playing a part in the sport in the future.
