The launch event was attended by a number of influential motorsport figures from a variety of disciplines including Nigel Mansell, Murray Walker and Moto GP’s legendary nine times World Champion Valentino Rossi.   The Italian was massively impressed by the facilities as he took to the track to complete a number of demonstration runs. Rossi missed the 2010 race at the venue due to injury, and therefore can not wait for the race: “I'm very excited because I had a toe injury so I had to watch the race from the television but it was not the same and so I decided to come here and see the track because all the other drivers say it is good and fast. I can't wait for the grand prix.”   The start-finish straight will now be located on the opposite side of the track to in previous years, which could completely alter the complexion of the first lap of the race. Even F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has been impressed by the changes, which he thinks bodes well for the future: “I'm delighted with the progress and prospects for the future of Silverstone. The pits and paddock complex is a state of the art facility and will form the backbone of Silverstone's plans to be a world class facility.”   The fight for victoryThe 2011 British Grand Prix is set to be a thriller, with Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo and Honda’s Casey Stoner embroiler in a tight contest for the championship. Honda seems to have produced the fastest bike, but Lorenzo will be keen to repeat his 2010 triumph at the ultimate riders track.   British racing fans will also have some promising home grown talent to cheer on during the course of the weekend in the form of Tech3 Yamaha’s Cal Crutchlow. The British Superbike race winner has acquainted himself well in the opening rounds of the championship, and will be aiming to achieve the first podium of his career on home soil.   With a tight championship battle, a strong British rider and the presence of Valentino Rossi, the 2011 British Moto GP race is set to be a stunner.
