ABOUT THE TRACK
Silverstone’s first motorcycle Grand Prix was held in 1977, and has been the playground of champions ever since. The UK has produced some of the best riders in MotoGP™’s history – Mike Hailwood, John Surtees, Phil Read and Barry Sheene, just a few of the Brits who’ve won the hearts of the crowds, and championships! Silverstone has become one of the most prestigious venues dedicated to motorsport, welcoming now both Formula 1 and MotoGP™ in addition to many other prestigious competitions. The ‘Silverstone Wing’, a state-of-the-art, multi-million pound complex, became a new landmark at the circuit from 2011, thus adding to already breathtaking facilities at Silverstone. With a length of 5.9 km, Silverstone is the longest track of our calendar and its long straights require a lot of hard braking, making it a fun playground for MotoGP™ riders.
