Who will Claim Victory at this Legendary High-Speed Battle?
The British GP at Silverstone will be the stage for the ninth race of the 2008 season. Being a former landing strip, Silverstone is one of the flattest courses in the championship. With many long straights and fairly high–speed corners, the circuit rewards cars with the greatest aerodynamic efficiency. However, a low–speed section built at the end of the course requires teams to have an optimal balance in car settings. Keep an eye out for the rapid changes in English weather. Will the Panasonic Toyota Racing cars be able to settle their accounts from last year?
