CART boss Chris Pook is due to arrive at Silverstone tomorrow in the company of Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone.

There is speculation that there is an announcement about the future of F1 in North America.

CART had an important board meeting on Friday and it is not yet clear what was decided but it is possible that a decision was taken about the plan to sell the company to a new investor.

Those believed to be involved in the bidding are CART team bosses Gerry Forsythe, Paul Gentilozzi, Craig Pollock and his backer Kevin Kalkhoven and Bernie Ecclestone.

The aim of an Ecclestone takeover of CART would be to promote Formula 1 in the United States and to build up CART as a secondary series for the F1 World Championship.

At the same time there are suggestions that Pook's appearance at the British GP may be the result of a plan for a second United States Grand Prix.

The race would be in San Francisco.

It is expected that the story - whatever it may be - will break tomorrow.

According to an Autoweak story Pook was just on his way over today. Other sources claimed he was going to be there yesterday.

So this trip could be anything the August 7 rumor remains in play. Maybe Bernie is involved, maybe Pook is pleading for a lifeline, or maybe he's just going to ask Bernie's blessing for whatever deal is about to go down.
