The action gets faster... However, it's unlikely that we see a new race record for Silverstone this season: the last two races here were won with a 1h21m0x times so probably the limit for this track is already found.
Two Digitech wins here in the last two seasons - and most believe that the team won't allow one of its rivals to get away with first place at their home GP. The question still is which one of the two drivrs will be ahead this time? Or will one of the other drivers celebrate his first GP victory? Or will the Cambuster team return to the IC just to prepare for Hockenheim one round later? Question, questions, question - hopefully none of you gets sleepless nights now ;-)
