The 2002 British Grand Prix at Silverstone has been given the green light despite concerns about traffic problems.
At a meeting in Monte Carlo the sport's governing body, the FIA, voted in favour of the race keeping its championship status but have imposed strict conditions on event promoters Octagon Motorsports and the British Racing Drivers' Club.
The FIA had threatened to take the race away from Silverstone after bad weather and heavy traffic caused parking chaos and congestion at the Northamptonshire circuit last year.
But Octagon's plans to spend £40 million pounds, including £10.6 million pounds before next year's race, on transport infrastructure has helped convince the FIA it should be allowed to continue to stage the race.
