Motor Racing - Silverstone
Silverstone motor race track is only 10 miles from Home Farmhouse.
The international Formula I Grand Prix is held at Silverstone
every year in July and the future of this event at Silverstone
has now been guaranteed by a new sponsorship deal. This deal
has not only ensured that the race will be held at Silverstone
for the next 15 years but has also generated additions and
improvements to the facilities at the track. In addition the
building of a bypass round the village has now been started
which will greatly ease the traffic problems during major
events at the track.
There always seems to be something going on at Silverstone
whether it be race driving lessons for enthusiastic amateurs,
motor racing at levels other than Formula I or rallies of
vintage and classic cars. Full information can be obtained
from the Silverstone web-site www.silverstone-circuit.co.uk
One note of warning. It is virtually impossible at short
notice to find accommodation near Silverstone for the
Grand Prix weekend in July. Anyone wishing to visit the Grand
Prix should start looking for accommodation the previous winter,
if not before.
