Silverstone Circuit – F1 Track Layout, Records & Winners

Silverstone Circuit, located in Northamptonshire, England, began life in 1948 as a repurposed Royal Air Force airfield and hosted the very first Formula 1 World Championship race in 1950. Owned by the British Racing Drivers Club, the venue was reconfigured in 2010 with a new Arena infield section designed by Populous and the iconic Wing pit complex completed in 2011. The current 5.891 km, 18-corner layout retains the legendary Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel high-speed sequence, regarded as one of the finest tests in motorsport.
