Racing in Rotterdam

There are reports in Holland of plans for a Formula 1 race on the streets of Rotterdam. It seems that Rotterdam city councillors have given their approval to a project to investigate the possibility of getting an F1 race in the city centre. The project is being considered because it would give the city's tourist trade a much-needed boost and improve its image, which is currently less than stellar. There is also talk of a street demonstartion of F1 cars on August 7 this year.
