The Chinese come to Britain

The recent British Grand Prix provided the venue for a Department of Trade and Industry-sponsored mission, organised by the Motorsport Industry Association for senior representatives of the Chinese media.

The mission was devised to help raise the profile of UK-based Formula 1 teams and to promote the expertise of the motorsport engineering industry in Britain in the run up to the first Chinese Grand Prix, which is scheduled to take place in ShanghaiÊin October next year.

The visiting pressmen visited a number of F1 teams and engineering businesses including McLaren, Williams, Renault, Jordan, BAR, Minardi, Cosworth and Xtrac.
