	British Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grand Prix motor racing was first established in Britain by Henry Segrave at the Brooklands course in 1926 after his winning of the French Grand Prix in 1923 and the following year at the Spanish Grand Prix which raised interest in the sport.
		In October 2004 the British Grand Prix was left off the preliminary race schedule for 2005 because the BRDC refused to pay the race fee demanded by Bernie Ecclestone.
		The 2005 Grand Prix was an important race for all the drivers, especially Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen and Michael Schumacher.

		BRDC chairman Ray Bellm is convinced that the deal with Ecclestone gives Silverstone the security needed for the circuit’s facilities to be developed.
		One of the BRDC’s main objections to an initial one-year contract was the lack of time available to upgrade facilities, but with five years guaranteed, Bellm has time to plot a major overhaul.
		The BRDC has always struggled to match the kind of money on offer from the government-funded grands prix such as those in China or Malaysia, but Bellm is adamant he has closed a deal which does not place undue pressure on his resources.

		British Racing Drivers’ Club president Stewart and Formula1 supremo Ecclestone are currently embroiled in a war of words which appears to show no sign of relenting.
		The Scot is adamant Ecclestone has given the BRDC a guarantee Silverstone, for a long time a thorn in the side of the sport’s ruling power broker, will host the British Grand Prix for 2005 and 2006.
		The problem is the BRDC was earlier this year left out on a limb by the withdrawal of the Interpublic Group as promoter, which chose to cut its losses by paying Ecclestone’s Formula1 Management company £55million to extract itself from a deal which was due to run to 2015.

		Installed and commissioned prior to the British Grand Prix in July, it was this event that proved beyond doubt that Tag and Trace not only met the exacting requirements of the BRDC and its Members but also surpassed them by its anonymity.

		This week marks the 75th anniversary of the first meeting of the BRDC, which took place in London in 1928.Originally conceived as an informal dining club for racing drivers, the BRD C was the brainchild of Bentley Le Mans racer Dr Jack Benjafield with membership restricted to gentlemen racing drivers of proven success and experience.
		The aim of the club was to promote the interests of motorsport in Britain, to extend hospitality to drivers visiting from abroad and to further the efforts of British drivers when they competed abroad.
		In 1971 the BRDC bought the entire 720-acre estate and was thus free to develop the industrial park beside the track, the national circuit and other facilities.

		The glamour and history of the Monaco race are the primary reasons the circuit is still in use, since it does not meet the strict safety requirements imposed on other tracks.
		The pit lane, where the drivers stop for fuel and tyres during the race, and where the constructors work on the cars before the race, is normally located next to the starting grid.
		Drivers will only be able to use one set of tyres per race weekend, with pit stops for tyre changes being banned (unless the tyre is damaged).

		In her first year of racing, Lorraine was placed on pole position (probably a sexist gesture by all her fellow racers (yes they were all men)) for the start of a two driver race at Mondello Park in Ireland.
		In her second year of racing, a trip to Pembrey in Wales resulted in a dramatic fire as a fuel pipe split, spilling fuel onto the tyres, causing the car to spin.
		Whilst leading her first race at Lydden Hill, in Kent, Lorraine’s alternator bracket broke, the alternator then dispersed its teeth under the bonnet, shredding the fan belt and causing a loss of power and the race.
