Deal in place for Rome Grand Prix

ROME — Italian organizers say a deal has been signed with Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone to stage a Rome Grand Prix on the streets of Italy's capital.

Course planner Maurizio Flammini told Sky Italia on Sunday that an agreement with Ecclestone "has already been done and signed" but did not say when the first Rome GP might be held. The 2010 F1 calendar has already been set.

City authorities have been making plans for the race for more than a year and intend to use the city streets as a course, in similar fashion as the popular races in Monaco and Valencia.
