Silverstone will continue to host the oldest race on F1’s calendar
The British Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2034 after Silverstone secured a 10-year extension to its current deal. The new deal secures the long-term future of the event at the 3.6-mile Northamptonshire circuit, which hosted the first-ever round of the Formula 1 World Championship in 1950. A record 480,000 fans attended the event across the weekend last year.
Peter Digby, the chair of the British Racing Drivers’ Club that owns Silverstone, said that the contract extension “will provide a solid base for the further development of the venue as we continue to improve and transform the circuit into a year-round international motorsport and leisure destination.” F1 boss Stefano Domenicali added that he was “delighted” with the deal, calling Silverstone “an iconic venue at the heart of F1 history”.
