Derek Warwick has outlined Silverstone's widespread infrastructural improvements

BRDC President Derek Warwick has promised fans attending this year's British GP that organisers have "upgraded everything" to avoid any repeat of last year's rain-triggered travel chaos at Silvestone.

Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft, attending Silverstone for a media day on Wednesday to hear about the circuit's full plans for 2013's GP, underlined how much effort organisers have made to improve the venue's infrastructure. "This year things are going to be a lot better," he said. "They've improved the drainage and the car parks; they've put plastic matting down on the campsites so that people can actually come, set their tents up and enjoy a festival of motorsport. "The BRDC, the owners of Silverstone, have improved the facilities; there are more roofs on the temporary grandstands, there are raised banking areas for the general admission tickets. "The organsiers want the fans to come and enjoy the spectacle and get as many people into the circuit to have a great time." Last July's problems aside, Silverstone has enjoyed something of a revival in recent years on the back of securing a 17-year contract to continue hosting the British GP and the opening of its new 'Wing' pit and paddock complex in 2011. However, with the circuit keen to make further enhancements to the site and increase revenue streams, BRDC officials have spent several years chasing external investment. Speaking to Sky Sports News, Warwick confirmed the circuit was currently in talks with a would-be investor. "The only problem we've got at the moment is it [the Wing]'s not very well linked to the rest of the circuit," he admitted. "So we do need an investor, we're looking for an investor at the moment, talking to an investor at the moment and that will help us build hotels and bigger infrastructure etcetera. "But our relationship with Bernie is fantastic. He complimented us last year for running one of the best grands prix of the year and you don't very often get compliments from Mr Ecclestone!"
