France gets bigger

Silverstone is not the only race circuit undergoing a frantic makeover in time for the big events of the summer. Magny Cours, which hosts the French Grand Prix on 21st July, is also sprucing itself up. The final corner, "Lycee," is being reconfigured to improve overtaking opportunities while a new grandstand is being erected to provide seating for a further 30,000 spectators.
