About the British Grand Prix at Silverstone
Located near the Northamptonshire villages of Towcester, Silverstone and Whittlebury, Silverstone Circuit first hosted the British Grand Prix in 1948 – although history books often refer to 1950, as this was the first season of the World Championship of Drivers format we know today.
The British Grand Prix rotated between Silverstone, Aintree and Brands Hatch from 1955 to 1986, before settling permanently at Silverstone in 1987. Despite its unofficial status as Britain’s home of motor racing, Silverstone’s place on the calendar was often put in doubt. But the event endured and today the circuit has its own interactive museum, as well as thriving business parks housing businesses such as the Aston Martin Formula One Team.
The track itself has altered a lot from its humble beginning as a windswept WWII airfield, with F1 drivers whizzing around 5.890 km of tarmac during the 58-lap race.
