Meanwhile in Greece

Our spies in Athens report that Bahrain International Circuit chief Martin Whitaker is arriving in the city today and will spend the next few days visiting possible venues for a proposed Greek Grand Prix. There are believed to be two sites which are being looked at closely: the first at Orchomenos, a famous archeological site near the city of Levadeia to the north-west of Thebes in the Viotia region or central Greece; the second on the Peloponnese peninsula near the city of Patras, at the mouth of the Gulf of Corinth. This is now the main seaport from which to travel to from the Italian seaport of Brindisi.
