Construction work will begin in OctoberFollowing the FIA's confirmation of an unspecified eighteenth race for the 2007 F1 calendar, the Italian government has given a further boost to beleaguered venue Imola.
A statement on Wednesday confirmed that construction work
at the circuit in the country's central north, demanded by Formula One authorities, will begin on October 4.
''All participants repeated their willingness to work together so that the Grand Prix can be held on April 29, 2007 and in following years,'' the statement, issued after a meeting in Rome, read.
The Agenzia Giornalistica Italia reported earlier this month that the meeting would be attended by government representatives, regional chiefs and Imola mayor Massimo Marchignola.
