World Motor Sport Council decisions
 
 The World Motor Sport Council met in Seville on 4 October 2000. The
following decisions were taken:

Having studied detailed proposals and undertakings from Silverstone
circuit and the Royal Automobile Club - Motor Sports Association - MSA

British Grand Prix in the FIA Formula One World Championship calendar

The World Motor Sport Council also agreed to a joint proposal from the
RAC MSA and ÖAMTC that the dates of their respective events be
exchanged. The Austrian Grand Prix will now take place on 13 May and
the British Grand Prix on 15 July (see calendar below).
Sporting Regulations (as from 1 January 2001) 
Testing
No testing will be permitted on the Monday following the race on a

There will be a 3 week gap between races during the month of August
and no testing will be allowed during this period;
No testing will be permitted at Silverstone, Magny Cours, Monza and
Barcelona for 28 days prior to their respective Events. (All testing
is already prohibited on other Grand Prix circuits). 
Tyres
A maximum of 10 sets of tyres (previously 8) will be allowed during
