Official website of Silverstone, home of British Motor Racing. The greatest events in British Motor Racing happen at Silverstone. Thank you! When Donington Park's F1 bid fell through in financial acrimony a new F1 deal was signed and the planned circuit works modified.To accommodate Bernie Ecclestone's demands, a new Wing-like pit and paddock complex was to be built between Copse and Abbey, with the circuit swooping infields to a new 'Arena' complex before rejoining the existing circuit on the former Club Straight, now renamed in honour of the Wellington bombers which once took off along it.The new course debuted in 2010, although work to complete the new pit complex was completed in time for the 2011 Grand Prix. The cars were, as a consequence, slower through an unchanged Abbey, before swooping under the bridge and right through a new high-speed corner, up to the left-hander at Priory and back onto the Brooklands/Luffield complex before Woodcote, minus the need for the chicane, completed the lap.Further track revisions came in 1994 after the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at Imola and a testing crash for Pedro Lamy at Silverstone saw a renewed focus on circuit safety. Utilising some of the original runways near to the Vale complex, the new triangular course offered excellent and safe facilities for the Silverstone Racing School.Also new was the International course. The Club circuit remained unchanged.Further significant redevelopment happened over the winter of 1990, designed to take the circuit through the 1990s.
