LONDON, April 28 - Former Formula One champion Damon Hill was elected
president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, owners of British Grand Prix
circuit Silverstone, on Friday.
The 1996 world champion with Williams
succeeds triple world champion Jackie Stewart, who is standing down after six
often turbulent years at the helm of a club founded in 1928.
Hill's immediate challenge will be to oversee the redevelopment of
Silverstone to secure the grand prix's future beyond 2009 after previous
proposals met with grass-roots resistance.
