Silverstone Circuit

馃嚞馃嚙 Silverstone 路 England 路 Europe/London

The Silverstone Circuit is a permanent racing track located in Silverstone, Great Britain, built on the site of a former Royal Air Force airfield that was first used for motorsport in 1948. The circuit is characterized by a relatively flat surface and high-speed corners such as Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel, where drivers experience lateral forces exceeding five G. Silverstone hosted the first official Formula 1 World Championship race in 1950 and remains one of the most renowned venues in motorsport. The changeable British weather with frequent rainfall and fog led to the relocation of the British Grand Prix from April to July starting in 2000. The next event here is Michelin Le Mans Cup - Silverstone on Saturday, 4 September 2027. Here you will find all upcoming races in Silverstone with schedule and broadcast, plus the previous winners.
