For more than 75 years, we’ve been at the heart of British motorsport, creating iconic sporting moments, delivering world-class events and welcoming fans from across the globe. Today, Silverstone is one of the world’s most recognised sporting venues and a thriving year-round destination for sport, entertainment, leisure and business.
Each year, more than two million visitors join us across our 600-acre estate. We’re proud to host the Formula 1 British Grand Prix and British Grand Prix MotoGP, alongside a packed calendar of major motorsport events, live entertainment and unforgettable experiences.
But Silverstone is about much more than race weekends.
Visitors can take on the circuit with Silverstone Drive, experience high-speed racing at Kart Silverstone, explore more than 75 years of motorsport history at Silverstone Museum, stay trackside at Escapade Silverstone or Hilton Garden Inn, and enjoy an expanding programme of live music, hospitality, conferences and events.
Our stages have welcomed some of the world’s biggest artists, including Stormzy, RAYE, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Fatboy Slim and Sam Fender, bringing a new energy to one of Britain’s most legendary sporting venues.
Behind it all is a team driven by ambition, innovation and a shared belief in creating experiences people never forget. From global sporting events and major commercial partnerships to destination development, sustainability and new ways for fans to experience Silverstone, we’re continually racing towards what comes next.
This is where history is made, boundaries are pushed and extraordinary happens.
The Nürburgring is one of the most legendary race tracks in the world. Loved and feared: the world-famous Nordschleife, the “Green Hell” in the splendid Eifel forests. But the Nürburgring is more than just a race track. It is also a vibrant conference and trade fair location, a popular getaway destination and a guarantee for impressive experiences. Since the race track was opened in 1927, every single story contributed to the creation of a unique myth that can be felt and experienced by all. A living legend that fascinates motorsport fans and teams, the automotive industry and visitors and corporate customers alike.
The friendly motorsport venue in the middle east
Welcome to the world’s premier motorsport facility: modern, hi-tech, exciting, friendly.
Initiated by His Highness Crown Prince Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Honorary President of the Bahrain Motor Federation, and opened in 2004, the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) hosts the annual Bahrain Grand Prix, a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship. This makes it a key part of the sport’s elite.
But it was always intended that the circuit would be more than just a part of the top echelons of world motorsport, although this is of course a huge honour. It has always been our ambition to be the ‘home of motorsports in the Middle East’ due to our friendly, community atmosphere, our promotion of national championships and fostering of a wide variety of motorsports from local series, to drag racing and karting.
BIC’s ability to run two — of our seven! — tracks simultaneously, our international standard drag strip, our desert obstacle course for 4x4s, our Kart Zone, and our track days for bikes and cars have introduced the thrills of motorsport to thousands of competitors - some as young as nine – and to hundreds of thousands of fans.The track, designed by Hermann Tilke, cost approximately US$150m, but the return on the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s investment has been many-fold.
Media interest in Formula One throughout Middle East and North Africa has increased massively since the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix’s inauguration in 2004. In 2006 it leapt by 780 per cent, its total value and airtime exceeding that year’s Winter Olympics in Turin.
BIC has built wisely on the success of our prestige event — on and off the track. Our landmark eight-storey Sakhir Tower, luxury VIP lounges, hi-tech conference facilities and five-star catering have given the region a significant corporate entertainment and conference facility and made the track a serious destination for corporate clients.
