Imola has a deal until 2009

Reports in the Italian media suggest that Bernie Ecclestone has just done a new deal with SAGIS, the company which promotes the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola. SAGIS is a subsidiary of the Automobile Club di Bologna and has been struggling to find the money to upgrade the circuit facilities. The good news is that the Italian Minister of Infrastructure Pietro Lunardi has agreed to provide around $13m to help fund the construction of a new paddock.
