Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Great Britain

City Guide: Silverstone

Silverstone is the home of British motorsport — a fast, flowing circuit built on a wartime airfield in the Northamptonshire countryside that has been at the heart of Grand Prix racing since 1948. The MotoGP British Grand Prix at Silverstone is one of the calendar's great events: a well-organised, enthusiastic British crowd, a circuit that rewards brave, committed riding with its long high-speed corners, and the full English motorsport hospitality experience. All times run on BST (British Summer Time, UTC+1). London is 90 minutes south, Oxford is 40 minutes away, and the Cotswolds are on the doorstep.
