MotoGP is due to arrive at the Silverstone track for the AirAsia British Grand Prix in June, the multi million dollar work currently occurring to improve the venue is still on track for completion by the end of March.

The Northamptonshire track will boast a fresh circuit layout, plus an improved viewing area which will make the MotoGP World Championship’s comeback to Silverstone since 1986, a special event.

Richard Phillips, Managing Director of Silverstone Circuits Limited, states, “Work on the circuit and venue is on schedule. The team has been working around the clock, through some pretty terrible weather conditions, to make sure the circuit is ready on time. The track works at Brooklands and Woodcote are now complete, including the new run-off area for the fast entry into Pits Straight, while the major new development – the new section of circuit from Abbey, up to the Arena Complex and round to the National Straight – is also coming along nicely.”

Phillips adds, “There is still a considerable amount of work going on at Silverstone, including the new elevated banks and spectator viewing areas, which will continue beyond March. Conference and hospitality buildings are also being built on the new Stowe Complex.”

The 2010 AirAsia British Grand Prix begins at Silverstone from June 18th -20th.
