Silverstone Circuit

Silverstone Circuit, near Silverstone and Whittlebury in England, has hosted the British Grand Prix since 1948 and the British MotoGP round. Built on RAF Silverstone, it became a permanent F1 venue in 1987. The track has evolved from its original runway layout to a technical circuit, with major safety modifications in the 1990s after the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger. It is close to several towns and the Red Bull Racing base in Milton Keynes.
