About Silverstone
Silverstone Circuit is a motor racing circuit in England, near the Northamptonshire villages of Silverstone and Whittlebury. It is the home of the British Grand Prix, which it first hosted in 1948. The 1950 British Grand Prix at Silverstone was the first race in the newly created World Championship of Drivers. The circuit is built on the site of a World War II Royal Air Force bomber station, RAF Silverstone.
Silverstone is revered as one of the fastest and most flowing circuits on the calendar. The Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel sequence is legendary, subjecting drivers to immense lateral G-forces as they change direction at incredibly high speeds. It is a supreme test of a car's aerodynamic efficiency and a driver's physical fitness.
The circuit has undergone several layout changes, with the current "Arena" layout introduced in 2010 adding a new infield section. Despite modernization, it retains its high-speed character. The British Grand Prix consistently attracts some of the largest crowds of the year, with fans known for their knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport.
