As the host of the first ever World Championship Grand Prix this Northamptonshire track has certainly earned it's place in history.

The Circuit Today The circuit hosts major World Motorsport events including Formula One, MotoGP, World Superbikes and local UK Motorsport including the BTCC, British Superbikes, Formula 3, Silverstone Classic and much more. We offer Race Tickets for Formula One, MotoGP, World Superbikes and offer our Circuit Hospitality Suite for all events - please enquire. How it was before 2010 Originally used as a wartime airfield the circuit was converted to racing in 1948 when a track using a combination of runways and perimeter road was created. Two Grands Prix were held on that configuration before the runway was abandoned. The circuit has a special place in the hearts of Ferrari fans as it was here that, in 1951, Jose Froilan Gonzalez scored the first ever World Championship victory for the Scuderia. From 1950 until the 1975 the track remained largely unchanged and played host to a never ending list of exciting races. In 1973 the start-line accident of Jody Scheckter entered the history books as the biggest crash ever seen in F1 with almost half the field crashing out.

Two years later, a rain storm in the closing stages had a similar effect. To look back at Silverstone's history is like taking a slice out of F1 itself. Few who were there will forget Watson and Hunt battling for the lead in 1977, while Clay Regazzoni's win in 1979 was the first of many for the Williams team. Watson was again the glory boy in 1981 as he scored an emotional win for the home crowd. In 1987 a new section was added to the track just before Woodcote, while that year's race produced one of the greatest manoeuvres the sport has ever seen as Mansell took Piquet on the run down to Stowe corner. That move earned Mansell the first of three wins at the track all of which resulted in the famous scenes of 'Mansellmania' among the partisan crowd. In 1991 the track was substantially changed and emerged with a new 3.247 mile layout. Becketts was replaced with a series of esses, while Stowe was slowed to a much harder right.

Mansell won the first race on the new track, and again in 1992. The homer fans had to suffer some disappointment in 1993 as the new local hero, Damon Hill, lost out to Alain Prost. Further rebuilds followed in 1994 and Damon Hill emerged the winner after Michael Schumacher was excluded following irregularities on the parade lap. 1995 provided Johnny Herbert with a well-deserved victory while Villeneuve won in both 1996 and 1997. The 1998 race was the scene of controversy after Michael Schumacher took the flag while sitting in the pit lane serving a penalty. Local interest was restored in 1999 with a fine win for the popular Scot Coulthard, who repeated the feat in 2000. The 2000s David Coulthard ushered in the new century with another win and, of course, who could forget that Easter mud-bath. Copse is now flat in seventh. Gulp.

The race returned to its traditional July date in 2001 when Mika Häkkinen gave McLaren an all too rare win over a dominant Michael Schumacher. The German maestro, however, wasn't to be beaten in 2002 giving Ferrari the first of three consecutive victories. Rubens Barrichello won an extraordinary race in 2003 after an Irish priest invaded the circuit. Schumacher returned to the top of the podium in 2004 before McLaren bounced back to break Ferrari's winning streak - Juan Pablo Montoya savouring his first-ever Silverstone success. While most eyes were firmly focused on the track, Silverstone continued to evolve as a state-of-the-art F1 facility throughout the period. By 2003 Silverstone had opened its gates to a vastly improved road infrastructure. The government's development plan to link the M1 with the M40 was completed in June 2002 and incorporated a new four-lane entrance road into the venue. Circuit developments Another change for 2010.

A new 3.66 mile Grand Prix Circuit with a new pit and paddock complex, with a spectacular 'wing' has moved the start/finish line between the corners of Club and Abbey. The Silverstone wing provides the teams with new garages, new race control building with new podium and world class hospitality areas. The future Silverstone are hoping to build a new development park. This will include a business and technology park, better spectator facilities and a huge outdoor stage to hold concerts. Back in 1950 Silverstone was the birthplace of today's FIA Formula One World Championship and, to this day, remains one of the world's most historic and challenging tracks.
