Silverstone Circuit
Silverstone is the current 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 race rotated between Silverstone, Aintree and Brands Hatch from 1955 to 1986, but relocated permanently to Silverstone in 1987.
Development history of Silverstone Circuit
The British Grand Prix started to use the Arena circuit configuration since 2010, thus increasing the track's length by 759 metres. Ahead of the Grand Prix, a new pit complex was completed, making the straight between Club and Abbey corners the new pit straight.
