History of Silverstone
Silverstone is known for hosting some of the most must-see events in the racing calendar, but some may wonder what makes Silverstone so unique. From its airfield origins in World War II to the birth of the British Grand Prix, Silverstone is enriched with a strong heritage that many may not be familiar with.
Silverstone began life in 1942, known as ‘RAF Silverstone.’ The original Silverstone site was used in World War II as a Royal Air Force bomber station, where Wellington bombers used the land as an airfield. RAF Silverstone was made up of 3 runways and lived on till the end of World War II in 1945. At the end of the war, the site was abandoned for several years.
The first races held at Silverstone were unofficial: In 1947, locals who lived nearby to Silverstone village noticed the deserted runways and began racing there. Whilst racing, one of the local participants, named Maurice Geoghegan, hit and killed a sheep. As a result, the informal race became known as the ‘Mutton Grand Prix.’
The following year, interest in turning the runways into a circuit increased. The Royal Automobile Club (RAC) chose the abandoned airfield as the starting point of a plan to bring motor racing back to Britain. The RAC declared James ‘Jimmy’ Brown the First Grand Prix organiser. On the 2nd of October 1948, the first-ever British Grand Prix took place with over 10,000 attendees and the winner being Luigi Villoresi.
In its early years, the Grand Prix’s run set Silverstone on the map as one of the most acclaimed locations on the motor racing map. With such success that in 1950, the venue held the first-ever Formula 1 World Championship event with around 150,000 people in attendance. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth also attended the 1950 race and met drivers, including a young Sir Stirling Moss; this moment lives in history as the only occasion a reigning monarch has been in attendance at Silverstone. Princess Diana and Prince Harry then visited the British Grand Prix in 1994.
767 Jaguar E-Types from Europe and North America participated in a track parade at the 2011 Silverstone Classic. Silverstone then set a Guinness World Record for the largest parade of Jaguar cars.
In 2019, Silverstone introduced the Silverstone Interactive Museum, an immersive visitor attraction that celebrates the past, present, and future. Motorsport fans can jump into star stories and science behind British motor racing at Silverstone’s brilliant family-friendly museum. The museum costs over £ 20 million to build and features the exhibition and preservation of artefacts, archives and collections of educational and historical value.
Northamptonshire welcomes all racing fans to experience why Silverstone is one of the most loved racetracks in the world. Eventmasters offer the most rewarding hospitality experience as racegoers can witness the live action of major motorsport events.
