Silverstone is owned and operated by the British Racing Drivers Club and opened for racing in 1948 using the runways and service roads of a wartime airfield. The outline is still visible, but constant development and massive investment have made the circuit the brand leader in the sport.

Revisions to the circuit, enhanced safety precautions, new pits and a redeveloped paddock complex are just part of the success story.

Silverstone hosted the first-ever round of the world championship in 1950 and is one of only two circuits to host a championship race consistently since then.
