BRITISH GRAND PRIX

One of just two races to feature on every F1 calendar (the other is Italy), the British Grand Prix has since 1987 made Silverstone its home. Silverstone is a classic and a real favourite with the drivers due to its fast, flowing, high-speed layout. The circuit was modified in 2010 but that hasn't diluted the thrill of sections such as the Copse/Maggots/Becketts complex and the high-speed blast down the Hangar Straight into Stowe corner. It's a massive event attended by some of the most well-informed and fanatical F1 followers in the world. The atmosphere is great, the racing often spectacular and the circuit always puts some great off-track entertainment. Just pray that it doesn't rain.

WELCOME TO SILVERSTONE

Located in the Northamptonshire countryside, Silverstone is in a pretty rural part of England. Certainly it can feel a long way from the bright lights of London. So if you're new to grands prix in the UK then don't expect haute cuisine followed by cutting-edge clubbing in a throbbing metropolitan night spot. It is, however, real racing in an areas steeped in motorsport. We're just down the road in Milton Keynes and most of the rest of the teams are located within a 40-miles radius of the track. Silverstone is less about glitz and glam and more about country pubs, a few light ales and endless talk about motor racing.
