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.
This series has created a space for old timers like myself to do what they love, so there's a possibility there.
So I wouldn’t rule it out, but I can’t honestly say that right now I need to race.
That is the bit that is missing.
I love driving, I love pushing the limit and all the rest of it but racing for me…I don’t have an ambition to do it and I think that’s an important part of the equation.
You never know,”

Hill not over it?
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.
Hill had always said after quiting F1 in 1999 after a bad season with the Jordan team that he would never race competitvly again, however he is now quoted with saying “You should never say never,”. What has brought on this need to return? Recently Hill had a run in a Mercedes DTM car at Brands Hatch and said “Driving that car made me think twice about not racing again." Also he was never really in the sport competing directly with Nigel Mansell (the current star of GPM), and says he regretted never having the chance to race him, this series woul obviously allow that to happen,
