British Grand Prix 2010

by
07 6

Host of the inaugural F1 world championship grand prix, on May 13 1950, Silverstone was due to disappear from the calendar this year after Donington Park won the contract to host the British GP. When those plans foundered, however, Silverstone earned a reprieve… and a freshly inked, 17-year contract.

One of the most charismatic of all venues, it will feature a revised layout in 2010. The previous version was the second fastest circuit on the calendar, after Monza, and had the quickest average cornering speed. The planned developments will not dilute its essence.
