Silverstone UK circuit description
The Silverstone Circuit is located between Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire in Great Britain. It is named after the village Silverstone in Northamptonshire and known as home of the British Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The Silverstone F1 circuit has a total length of 5,901 km with 18 turns and consists of 5 constructions. The major construction is the Arena Circuit where the British MotoGP and the British Formula 1 Grand Prix are held. This site uses the Arena section which was added in 2009 and used since 2010. The section was added to increase the challenge level of the circuit which was a success as it offers multiple overtaking opportunities.
The Grand Prix Circuit used to be the venue for the British Formula 1 Grand Prix before the Arena section was added and has a length of 5,141 km and 17 turns. The International Circuit has a length of 3,619 km and 10 turns. The small National Circuit has a length of 2,638 km and 6 turns and the smallest configuration; the Stowe Circuit has a length of 1,281 km and 5 turns. The last 3 constructions are used for the smaller race events.
Region
Silverstone is situated in the heart of the Midlands and, compared with many countries, nowhere in the UK is that far away. To the south, the sights of London, such as Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, are barely an hour and a half's journey by car. And from there, a one-hour flight can take you to the natural beauty of Scotland.
