In order to counter the threat to the 2002 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Britain's Motor Sports Association commissioned a report into the traffic situation at the 2001 race. The FIA was unhappy about the extended traffic jams and the report, to be drawn up by the MSA's very own pet judge will attempt to allay their fears by demonstrating that huge traffic jams are seen as an integral part of the nation's culture. Britain managed to create a one hundred mile tailback on the M6 motorway just weeks after the Grand Prix so the only real criticism can have been that the MSA didn't do enough to create a traditional British holiday atmosphere.
