Learn more about hotels in Silverstone

Silverstone circuit, established on the site of the erstwhile Royal Air Force Bomber Station, RAF Silverstone, has a captivating history that intertwines with the growth of motor racing. It held the inaugural British Grand Prix nearly 70 years ago in 1948 and witnessed the commencement of the World Championship of Drivers in 1950. Indeed, Silverstone has been the cradle of legendary motorsport moments ever since.

Despite the occasional spectre of uncertainty, Silverstone secured its future in 2019 as the permanent British Grand Prix venue, further cementing its place in the annals of motor racing. The track has undergone continuous refurbishments over the years, enhancing safety and refining its curves to deliver thrill and excitement with every turn.

Adding colour to its fascinating history is its roots in an impromptu race held in 1947, fondly dubbed the Mutton Grand Prix, owing to a wayward sheep’s unfortunate encounter with a race car. Today, many Formula One teams, including notable names like the regionally neighbouring Aston Martin, have roots firmly planted in UK soil amplifying the importance of this circuit to the sport.

When to visit Silverstone

A visit to Silverstone is best enjoyed during the summer months of June, July, and August, when the warmth of the sun keeps the temperatures between a pleasant 68°F and 79°F. July, in particular, brings an abundance of sunshine, making it the ideal time for a day at the races or a leisurely walk through the nearby villages.

However, visitors should keep in mind that October tends to be the wettest month in Silverstone, whilst February could usher in a chill, being the coldest month of the year. March, with the least rainfall, lends itself well for those who prefer a quieter sojourn off the peak tourist season.
