Subject: Silverstone safety shake-up
Silverstone is to undergo a programme of major improvements to make the circuit faster - and safer. Copse Corner will be re-shaped while the three-corner Priory, Brooklands and Luffield loop will be totally rebuilt. The entire 3,2-mile circuit will also be resurfaced for the new season. British Racing Drivers' Club president Lord Hesketh said the changes would cost £4,5m, adding to the £8m spent by the BRDC in the last three years.
