35,000 at Silverstone

NEWS STORY
08/07/2005

Silverstone Managing Director Richard Phillips expressed his delight today after the official crowd figure for the opening day of the 2005 British Grand Prix was confirmed to be 35,000.

The attendance matched that of the Friday of 2004 and was particularly heartening following the events that took place in London on Thursday.

Phillips commented: "We are delighted that such a large number of fans have joined us at Silverstone today. After the atrocities of yesterday it's great to see so many F1 fans coming to the circuit and enjoying themselves. It's important at a time like this to put a smile back on peoples' faces, and that's exactly what we are aiming to do.

"Everyone associated with the event – from the circuit and event organisers to drivers and teams – is determined to put on a real show for the fans. We've had a great day today, and we've got two more fantastic days of racing to look forward to."
