Basically, uh, yeah. "Silverstone" is a tiny little village. (Apparently 
some of the locals complain about their whole village being basically 
shut down for a few days a year by the race!) The race track is in the 
middle of nowhere, and there's no remotely large roads anywhere damn 
near it. PERFECT for a large-scale international event. :-D

Ooo, I've heard of that...

Is it true that none of the roads in Germany have a speed limit? Or is 
that just an urban myth?
