Jul.5 (GMM) British grand prix Silverstone is bracing for wild weather on the eve of the 2007 event.
As players at the Wimbledon tennis tournament can attest to, much of the UK has been affected by torrential rain in recent days, and Northamptonshire is counting on much the same for the F1 weekend.
Plenty of spots pattered the Silverstone paddock on Wednesday, and local forecasters predict more uncertain weather through to the race on Sunday.
Bracing for the storm, race organisers have announced that, for example, extra manpower and temporary roadways have been drafted in to avoid the carpark quagmire that was the British grand prix in 2000.
"We have actioned a number of contingency plans to minimise disruption to the fans and ensure that the customer experience is not compromised," the circuit's managing director Richard Phillips confirmed.
