There was a story about this on CNN Headline News the other night (as 
part of the financial report, no less).  They noted that the racing 
industry employs over 50,000 people in the UK, and that many of these
are former aerospace workers.

Ob Britcar:  If you have not already done so, check out the article 
about the McLaren F1 in the November issue of Road&Track.  What a 
machine...
