Hill not to race?
After a stunning 'test' of the GPMasters car at Silverstone, it seems Hill will not be racing. He has said
“No I’m not going to be racing no, I took a decision not to race a long time ago.
But it was definitely worth coming back and trying it out.
So I’ve got to say a big thank you to the GP Masters for giving me the chance to sample it and give me something to think about, anyway.

So will Damon Hill race?
It seems it is looking more and more likely. Damon will be at Siltstone on Thursday to test one of the 600bhp single seater GPM cars.
If testing goes well then we could see him competing in the car at the Silverstone weekend.
Hill will be running the car during the three hour free practice session, and if he feels comfortable in the car, it's setup, and his competitiveness then it looks good for him to race.
Hill vs Mansell will be a good site, I personally cannot wait.

News in the press has Damon Hill making a competitive return to racing in the GP Masters series.
He is planning to join the ranks of Mansell, Fitipaldi and rumours of Prost are abound as well.
The word on the street is that he will compete in the Silverstone race planned for the August 13th.

Qatar GP Masters
The first GP Masters took place Saturday from Qatar.
The race was won by 1992 world champion Nigel Mansell in a close fight with Christian Danner and the only just 45 years old Eric Van de Poele.
The 'old boys' showed great talent and resilience as the heat at Qatar was up to 77 degrees Celsius in the cockpit, and track temperatures of 58 degrees Celsius.
This is the second GP Masters grand prix with the inaugural South African GP last year which Nigel Mansell also won. The race had a number of incidents which brought out the safety car and bunched the grid back up again. Driver comments after the click through.
