'''Silverstone Circuit''' is a [[motor racing]] circuit in England, UK, near the [[Northamptonshire]] [[village]]s of [[Silverstone]] and [[Whittlebury]]. It is the home of the [[British Grand Prix]], which it first hosted as the [[1948 British Grand Prix]]. The [[1950 British Grand Prix]] at Silverstone was the first race in the newly created [[World Championship of Drivers]]. The race rotated between Silverstone, [[Aintree Motor Racing Circuit|Aintree]] and [[Brands Hatch]] from 1955 to 1986, but settled permanently at the Silverstone track in 1987. The circuit also hosts the [[British motorcycle Grand Prix|British round of the MotoGP]] series.

==Circuit==
{{Main|Development history of Silverstone Circuit}}
[[File:Silverstone Circuit, July 2, 2018 SkySat (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Satellite view of the circuit in 2018]]
The Silverstone circuit is on the site of a [[Royal Air Force]] bomber station, [[RAF Silverstone]], which was operational between 1943 and 1946.<ref>{{cite web|title=Silverstone – UK Airfield Guide|url=http://www.ukairfieldguide.net/airfields/silverstone|access-date=30 April 2021|website=www.ukairfieldguide.net}}</ref> The station was the base for the No. 17 Operational Training Unit. The airfield's three runways, in classic [[Class A airfield|WWII triangle format]], lie within the outline of the present track.

The circuit straddles the Northamptonshire and [[Buckinghamshire]] border and is accessed from the nearby [[A43 road|A43]]. The Northamptonshire towns of [[Towcester]] ({{convert|5|mi|km|abbr=out}}) and [[Brackley]] ({{convert|7|mi|km|abbr=out}}) and the town of [[Buckingham]], (situated in Buckinghamshire) ({{convert|6|mi|km|abbr=out}}) are close by, and the nearest city is [[Milton Keynes]], the home of [[Formula One]] team [[Red Bull Racing]]. Many F1 teams have bases in the UK, but [[Aston Martin in Formula One|Aston Martin]] (formerly [[Force India]]) is the closest to the track, with a new base having just been built under a kilometre from the race circuit.

Silverstone was first used for motorsport by an ''[[ad hoc]]'' group of friends who set up an impromptu race in September 1947. One of their members, Maurice Geoghegan, lived in nearby Silverstone village and was aware that the airfield was deserted. He and eleven other drivers raced over a {{convert|2|mi|adj=on}} circuit, during the course of which Geoghegan himself ran over a sheep that had wandered onto the airfield. The sheep was killed and the car was written off, and in the aftermath of this event the informal race became known as the ''Mutton Grand Prix''.<ref>{{cite book |last1= Tibballs |first1= Geoff |title= Motor Racing's Strangest Races |url= https://archive.org/details/motorracingsstra0000tibb |url-access= registration |year= 2001 |publisher= Robson Books |location= London |isbn= 978-1-86105-411-1 |pages= [https://archive.org/details/motorracingsstra0000tibb/page/123 123]–124 }}</ref>

The next year the [[Royal Automobile Club]] took a lease on the airfield and set out a more formal racing circuit. Their first two races were held on the runways themselves, with long straights separated by tight hairpin corners, the track demarcated by hay bales. However, for the [[I BRDC International Trophy|1949 International Trophy]] meeting, it was decided to switch to the perimeter track. This arrangement was used for the [[1950 British Grand Prix|1950]] and [[1951 British Grand Prix|1951]] Grands Prix. In 1952 the start line was moved from the ''Farm Straight'' to the straight linking the ''Woodcote'' and ''Copse'' corners, and this layout remained largely unaltered for the following 38 years. For the [[1975 British Grand Prix|1975]] meeting a [[chicane]] was introduced to try to tame speeds through ''Woodcote'' (although motorbikes would still use the circuit without the chicane up until 1986), and ''Bridge'' corner was subtly rerouted in [[1987 British Grand Prix|1987]].

The track underwent a major redesign between the [[1990 British Grand Prix|1990]] and [[1991 British Grand Prix|1991]] races, transforming the ultra-fast track (where, in its last years, fourth or fifth gear, depending on the transmission of the car, was used for every corner except the ''Bridge'' chicane which was usually taken in second gear) into a more technical track. The reshaped track's first Formula One race was won by [[Nigel Mansell]] in front of his home crowd. On his victory lap back to the pits Mansell picked up stranded rival [[Ayrton Senna]] to give him a lift on his side-pod after his [[McLaren]] had run out of fuel on the final lap of the race.

Following the deaths of Senna and fellow Grand Prix driver [[Roland Ratzenberger]] at [[San Marino Grand Prix|Imola]] in 1994, many Grand Prix circuits were modified in order to reduce speed and increase driver safety. As a consequence of this the entry from ''[[Hangar]] Straight'' into ''Stowe'' was modified in 1995 to improve the run off area. In addition, the flat-out ''Abbey'' kink was modified to a chicane in just 19 days ready for the 1994 Grand Prix. Parts of the circuit, such as the starting grid, are {{cvt|17|m|yd|abbr=on}} wide, complying with the latest safety guidelines.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12499373|title=Formula 1 seeks to be better by design|first=Katia|last=Moskvitch|date=25 February 2011|access-date=22 June 2018|website=Bbc.co.uk}}</ref>

==History==

===1940s===

With the termination of [[Second World War|hostilities]] in Europe in 1945, the first motorsport event in the British Isles was held at [[Gransden Lodge Airfield|Gransden Lodge]] in 1946 and the next on the [[Isle of Man]], but there was nowhere permanent on the mainland which was suitable.<ref name=Swinger>Peter Swinger, ''Motor Racing Circuits in England : Then & Now'' (Ian Allan Publishing, {{ISBN|0 7110 3104 5}}, 2008)</ref>

In 1948, [[Royal Automobile Club]] (RAC), under the chairmanship of [[Wilfred Andrews]], set its mind upon running a Grand Prix and started to cast around public roads on the mainland. There was no possibility of closing the public highway as could happen on the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands; it was a time of austerity and there was no question of building a new circuit from scratch, so some viable alternative had to be found.<ref name=Swinger/>

A considerable number of ex-RAF airfields existed, and it was to these the RAC turned their attention to with particular interest being paid to two near the centre of England – [[Snitterfield]] near [[Stratford-upon-Avon]] and one behind the village of [[Silverstone]]. The latter was still under the control of the Air Ministry, but a lease was arranged in August 1948 and plans put into place to run the first British Grand Prix since the RAC last ran one at [[Brooklands]] in 1927 (those held at [[Donington Park]] in the late 1930s had the title of 'Donington Grand Prix').<ref name=Swinger/>

In August 1948, Andrews employed James Brown on a three-month contract to create the Grand Prix circuit in less than two months.<ref name="Jones">{{cite web|url=http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/The-history-of-Silverstone-circuit-2014-07-02|title=The history of Silverstone circuit|last=Jones|first=Matt|date=2 July 2014|access-date=29 July 2014|archive-date=29 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729184839/http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/The-history-of-Silverstone-circuit-2014-07-02|url-status=dead}}</ref> Nearly 40 years later, Brown died while still employed by the circuit.<ref name=Swinger/>

Despite possible concerns about the weather, the [[1948 British Grand Prix]] began at Silverstone on Thursday 30 September 1948. The race took place on 2 October.<ref name=Swinger/> The new circuit was marked out with oil drums and straw bales and consisted of the perimeter road and the runways running into the centre of the airfield from two directions. Spectators were contained behind rope barriers and the officials were housed in tents. An estimated 100,000 spectators watched the race.<ref name=Swinger/>

There were no factory entries but [[Scuderia Ambrosiana]] sent two [[Maserati 4CL and 4CLT|Maserati 4CLT/48s]] for [[Luigi Villoresi]] and [[Alberto Ascari]] who finished in that order (notwithstanding having started from the back of the grid of 25 cars) ahead of [[Bob Gerard]] in his [[English Racing Automobiles|ERA R14B/C]]. The race was {{convert|239|mi|km|abbr=out}} long and was run at an average speed of {{cvt|72.28|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Fourth place went to [[Louis Rosier]]'s [[Talbot-Lago]] T26, followed home by [[Prince Bira]] in another Maserati 4CLT/48.<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statsf1.com/en/1948-hc/grand-prix-40.aspx |title=British Grand Prix • STATS F1 |website=Statsf1.com |date=2 October 1948 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

The [[1949 British Grand Prix|second Grand Prix]] at Silverstone was scheduled for May 1949 and was officially designated the British Grand Prix. It was to use the full perimeter track with a chicane inserted at ''Club''. The length of the second circuit was exactly three miles and the race run over 100 laps, making it the longest post-war Grand Prix held in England. There were again 25 starters and victory went to a [[Maserati 4CL and 4CLT|'San Remo' Maserati 4CLT/48]], this time in the hands of [[Toulo de Graffenried]], from Bob Gerard in his familiar ERA and Louis Rosier in a 4½-litre Talbot-Lago. The race average speed had risen to {{cvt|77.31|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. The attendance was estimated at anything up to 120,000.<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statsf1.com/en/1949-hc/grand-prix-51.aspx |title=II British Grand Prix • STATS F1 |website=Statsf1.com |date=14 May 1949 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

Also in 1949, the first running took place of what was to become an institution at Silverstone, the [[BRDC International Trophy|International Trophy]] sponsored by the Daily Express and which become virtually a second Grand Prix. The [[1949 BRDC International Trophy|first International Trophy]] was run on 20 August in two heats and a final. Victory in heat one went to Bira and the second to [[Giuseppe Farina]] – both driving Maserati 4CLT/48s, but the final went to a [[Ferrari 125 F1|Ferrari Tipo 125]] driven by Ascari from Farina, with Villoresi third in another Ferrari. For this meeting, the chicane at ''Club'' was dispensed with and the circuit took up a shape that was to last for 25 years.<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/overview/ |title=The History of British Motorsport and Motor Racing at Silverstone |website=Silverstone.co.uk |date=2 October 1948 |access-date=8 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091004014701/http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/overview/ |archive-date=4 October 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statsf1.com/en/1949-hc/grand-prix-61.aspx |title=BRDC International Trophy • STATS F1 |website=Statsf1.com |date=20 August 1949 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

===1950s===
The [[1950 British Grand Prix]] was a significant occasion for three reasons: it was the first ever World Championship Grand Prix, carrying the title of the European Grand Prix; it was the first race in the newly created [[World Championship of Drivers]];<ref>Mike Lang, Grand Prix! Volume 1, 1950 to 1965, p. 14</ref><ref>''World Championship of Drivers'', 1974 FIA Yearbook, Grey section, pp. 118–119</ref> and the event was held in the presence of [[George VI|King George VI]] and [[Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]] – the first and only time a reigning monarch has attended a motor race in Britain.<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone1">{{cite web|url=http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/1950s/ |title=The History of British Motorsport and Motor Racing at Silverstone – The 1950s |website=Silverstone.co.uk |date=27 August 2009 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

The year was the institution of the World Championship for Driver, and Silverstone witnessed the first time that [[Alfa Romeo 158/159 Alfetta|Alfa Romeo 158 'Alfettas']] had been seen in England, and they took the first three places in the hands of [[Giuseppe Farina]], [[Luigi Fagioli]] and [[Reg Parnell]], with the race average having increased to {{cvt|90.96|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}; however the race distance had been reduced to {{convert|205|mi|km|abbr=out}}.<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone1"/>

1951 was memorable for it saw the defeat of the Alfas, with victory going to [[José Froilán González]] driving the [[Ferrari 375 F1|Ferrari 375]]. His fellow countryman [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] was second in an [[Alfa Romeo 158/159 Alfetta|Alfa Romeo 159B]], and [[Luigi Villoresi]] in another Ferrari 375 was third. The race distance had increased to {{convert|263|mi|km|abbr=out}}, and the race average speed was now {{cvt|96.11|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone1"/>
 
1951 also saw the [[British Racing Drivers' Club]] (BRDC) take over the lease from the RAC, and set about making the circuit into something more permanent.<ref name="silverstone1"/>

The International Trophy attracted the cream of Formula One, including the seemingly invincible Alfas, driven by Fangio and Farina. However, the weather worsened for the final and visibility was almost nil, and in those conditions the Alfettas with their supercharged engines were at a distinct disadvantage. When the race was abandoned after only six laps, Parnell was in the lead in the [[Vanwall|"Thinwall Special"]]; no official winner was declared.<ref name=Swinger/>

In 1952, the RAC decided it no longer wished to run the circuit, and on 1 January the lease was taken on by the BRDC, with James Brown continuing as track manager. The lease covered only the perimeter track and other areas at specific times. The original pits between ''Abbey'' and ''Woodcote'' were demolished, and new pit facilities were constructed between ''Woodcote'' and ''Copse''. Coinciding with the BRDC taking over the running of the Grand Prix, there was a little unrest within the sport which led to the downgrading of Grand Prix racing to [[Formula Two]], which was won by [[Alberto Ascari]] at {{cvt|90.9|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} from his Ferrari teammate [[Piero Taruffi]] – both driving the [[Ferrari Tipo 500|Tipo 500]]. The podium was completed by [[Mike Hawthorn]] driving a [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper-Bristol T12]].<ref name=Swinger/>

The International Trophy was notable in 1952, in that it saw a rare victory for [[Hersham and Walton Motors]] when [[Lance Macklin]] had a win.<ref name=Swinger/>

The same situation continued into 1953 with the World Championship being run for Formula Two cars. The race was a straight fight between the Maserati and Ferrari teams, with victory going to Ascari at {{cvt|92.9|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} aboard a Ferrari Tipo 500, from the [[Maserati A6GCM]] of Fangio and another Tipo 500 of Farina. The racecard included a Formula Libre race which put the Grand Prix into perspective; Farina drove the Thinwall Special to victory at a higher speed than the actual GP, setting the first lap record at over {{cvt|100|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, at {{cvt|100.16|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

The 1954 Grand Prix season was the new 2.5-litre Formula One and had attracted interest from some major players. [[Lancia]] had joined the fray with their [[Lancia D50|D50]], and [[Daimler-Benz]] were back; the appearance of Lancia meant that there were three Italian teams competing at the highest level, the others being Ferrari and Maserati. The British were catered for by the Owen Racing Organisation with their [[British Racing Motors|BRMs]], the Vanwall of [[Tony Vandervell]] and [[Connaught Engineering|Connaught]] still competing, while Cooper-Bristol were not to be forgotten. At the start of the season, Mercedes-Benz had swept all before them, but Silverstone was a débâcle for the team, which returned to Untertürkheim in defeat. The {{convert|263|mi|km|abbr=out}} race was won by Froilán González from Hawthorn in the works [[Ferrari Tipo 500|625s]], with [[Onofre Marimón]] third in the works [[Maserati 250F]]. The best Mercedes driver was pole-man Fangio in his [[Mercedes-Benz W196|W196]].<ref name=Swinger/>

From 1955, the Grand Prix was alternated between [[Aintree Motor Racing Circuit|Aintree]] and Silverstone, until 1964 when [[Brands Hatch]] took over as the alternative venue.<ref name="silverstone1"/>

By the time the Grand Prix returned to Silverstone in 1956, Mercedes-Benz had gone, as had Lancia as an independent entrant, the cars having been handed to Scuderia Ferrari, who ran them as 'Lancia-Ferraris'. The great Fangio scored his only British Grand Prix win in one of these cars. Second was another Lancia-Ferrari which had started the race in the hands of [[Alfonso de Portago]], but was taken over by [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]] at half-distance and third place was [[Jean Behra]] in a Maserati 250F.<ref name=Swinger/>

Matters were somewhat happier for the British enthusiast at the International Trophy; a quality field had been attracted including Fangio and Collins in their Lancia-Ferraris, but the 13 laps of the race were led by the new [[BRM P25]] driven by Hawthorn. When the engine of the BRM expired, [[Stirling Moss]] in the [[Vanwall]] took over, going on to win. With the Lancias broken by the Brit, the rest of the podium was taken by the Connaughts of [[Archie Scott Brown]] and [[Desmond Titterington]].<ref name=Swinger/>

For 1958 drastic rule changes were introduced into Formula One, Fangio had retired and Maserati had withdrawn due to financial difficulties. Throughout the season the battle was between Ferrari and Vanwall and it was fervently hoped that Vandervell would success at home but it was not to be; the green cars fell apart, [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]] the best placed finisher in fourth. Victory went to Collins from Hawthorn, both driving [[Ferrari 246 F1|Ferrari Dino 246s]]. The crowd of 120,000 witnessed a trio of British drivers on the podium with [[Roy Salvadori]] coming home third in one of John Cooper's Coventry-Climax rear-engined powered cars.<ref name=Swinger/>

===1960s===

[[File:1969 British Grand Prix P Courage Brabham BT26.jpg|thumb|right| [[Piers Courage]] on his way to 5th place in the 1969 British Grand Prix, aboard [[Frank Williams Racing Cars]]'s Brabham-Cosworth BT26A]]

At the British Grand Prix of 1960, the front-engined cars were completely outclassed, the podium going to the Coventry-Climax–powered cars, with victory going to [[Jack Brabham]] in the works [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper T53]] from [[John Surtees]] and [[Innes Ireland]] in their [[Lotus 18]]s. Although the race is remembered as the race lost by [[Graham Hill]], rather than won by Brabham. Hill stalled his BRM on the grid, left the line in last place, then proceeded to carve through the whole field. Once in the lead, the BRM was troubled by fading brakes which led to Hill spinning off at ''Copse''.<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone2">{{cite web|url=http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/1960s/ |title=The History of British Motorsport and Motor Racing at Silverstone – The 1960s |website=Silverstone.co.uk |date=27 August 2009 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

1961 was the year of the new 1.5 litre Formula One introduced by the governing body on safety grounds – it met with strong opposition in Britain which gave birth to the short-lived [[Intercontinental Formula]], which extended the life of the now-obsolete Formula One cars. The International Trophy was run to this Formula and produced a notable first and last – the first and only appearance of the American [[Scarab (constructor)|Scarab]] and the last appearance of the Vanwall, in the hands of Surtees. The race was wet and Moss demonstrated his supreme prowess in [[Rob Walker Racing Team|Rob Walker's Cooper]] by lapping all but Brabham twice.<ref name=Swinger/>

In 1962, the second year of the Formula, [[1962 BRDC International Trophy|the International Trophy was run]] for the 1.5 litre cars. This was the classic occasion when Hill in the BRM crossed the finishing line almost sideways to snatch victory from [[Jim Clark]]'s [[Lotus 24]]; both drivers were credited with the same race time.<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone2"/>

Clark was to win the British Grand Prix when it returned to Silverstone in 1963, driving the [[Lotus 25|Lotus-Climax 25]]. By now, even Ferrari had succumbed to the rear-engined layout, but sent only one to Northamptonshire for Surtees ([[Ferrari 156]]). He finished second, ahead of three [[BRM P57]]'s of Hill, [[Richie Ginther]] and [[Lorenzo Bandini]].<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone2"/>

For the 1965 season, BRM had taken a chance and signed [[Jackie Stewart]] straight from Formula Three; the International Trophy was only his fourth Formula One race, but despite this he won handsomely from Surtees in the Ferrari. When the Formula One returned for the British Grand Prix later that year, Stewart finished a creditable fifth. Fellow Scot, Clark won the race in his [[Lotus 33|Lotus-Climax 33]] from the [[BRM P261]] of Hill and the Ferrari of Surtees.<ref name=Swinger/>

The following year, the new 3-litre Formula One was heralded as the ''Return of Power'', however the first Grand Prix under these regulations was held at Brands Hatch. It was not until 1967 that the big-engined cars came to Northamptonshire. The result remained unchanged, with Clark winning in the [[Lotus 49|Lotus-Cosworth 49]] at a race average speed of {{cvt|117.6|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Second was Kiwi [[Denny Hulme]] aboard the [[Brabham|Brabham-Repco]], from the [[Ferrari 312]] of his fellow countrymen [[Chris Amon]].<ref name=Swinger/>

There was a frightening increase in race average speed in 1969, for it rose by {{cvt|10|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, to {{cvt|127.2|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} when Stewart won in his [[Matra MS80|Matra-Cosworth MS80]] from [[Jacky Ickx]] (Brabham-Cosworth BT26) and [[Bruce McLaren]] driving one of his own Cosworth-powered [[McLaren M7A|M7Cs]].<ref name=Swinger/>

===1970s===
[[File:Niki Lauda Ferrari 312T JPGP S 75 2.jpg|thumb|right| [[Niki Lauda]] taking the Ferrari 312T through ''Maggotts Copse'' during 1975 John Player Grand Prix, Silverstone]]
By 1971, the 3-litre era was now into its fifth season; it was also the year when sponsorship came to the fore. [[Ken Tyrrell]] became a constructor and Jackie Stewart won at Silverstone driving the [[Tyrrell 003]] on his way to a second World Championship. [[Ronnie Peterson]] was second in [[March 711]] from [[Emerson Fittipaldi]] in [[Lotus 72|Lotus 72D]]; all were Cosworth-powered in what fast becoming Formula Super Ford; the race average was {{cvt|130.5|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

1973 was the year that [[Jody Scheckter]] lost control of his McLaren at the completion of the first lap, spinning into the pit wall and setting in motion the biggest accident ever seen on a British motor racing circuit. The race was stopped on lap two and the carnage cleared away; it speaks highly for the construction of the cars that only one driver was injured. The race was won Scheckter's teammate, [[Peter Revson]] ([[McLaren M23|McLaren M23-Cosworth]]) from Peterson (Lotus 72E) and Denny Hulme (McLaren M23). The race average speed had risen again to {{cvt|131.75|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

The 1973 débâcle wrought changes upon Silverstone as it was deemed necessary to slow these cars through ''Woodcote'', therefore a chicane was inserted. ''"Formula Super Ford"'' reached its peak in 1975, when 26 of the 28 entries were Cosworth-powered, there being just two Ferraris to challenge them. [[Tom Pryce]] placed his [[Shadow DN5]] on pole for the 1975 Grand Prix, but an accident destroyed his chances as the race was run in appalling weather and it was stopped at two-thirds distance, following multiple cars crashing on the very wet circuit. Victory went to Fittipaldi (McLaren M23) from [[Carlos Pace]] ([[Brabham BT44]]B) and Scheckter (Tyrrell 007).<ref name=Swinger/>

International motor racing at Silverstone is not concerned solely to Formula One however, and 1976 saw one of the closest finishes in endurance racing during the ''[[1000 km Silverstone|Silverstone Six-Hour]]'' race, which was a round of the World Championship for Makes. The series was almost a German benefit that season as the main contenders were the [[Porsche 935]]s and [[BMW E9#3.0 CSL|BMW 3-litre CSLs]] (common known as the 'Batmobiles'). Porsche had had the upper hand in the opening rounds of the series, but at Silverstone things were different. [[John Fitzpatrick (racing driver)|John Fitzpatrick]] and [[Tom Walkinshaw]] kept their BMW ahead to win by {{cvt|197|yd|m|abbr=on}} (1.18secs) from the [[Bob Wollek]]/[[Hans Heyer]] Porsche 935 Turbo. Third was a Porsche 934 Turbo in the hands of [[Leo Kinnunen]] and [[Egon Evertz]].<ref name=Swinger/>

The 1977 British Grand Prix saw the beginning of a revolution in Formula One, for towards the back of the grid was the product of Règie Renault which was exploiting a rule in F1 regulations that allowed the use of 1.5-litre turbocharged engines. The [[Renault RS01]] expired early in the race. Ulsterman [[John Watson (racing driver)|John Watson]] had an early battle with [[James Hunt]], but the fuel system in Watson's Brabham-Alfa Romeo let him down and the winner Hunt ([[McLaren M26]]) won at a speed of {{cvt|130.36|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, with [[Niki Lauda]] second for Ferrari from [[Gunnar Nilsson]] in a Lotus.<ref name=Swinger/>

Once the most prestigious race of the motorcycle calendar, the [[Isle of Man TT]] had been increasingly boycotted by the top riders, and finally succumbed to pressure and was dropped, being replaced by the [[British motorcycle Grand Prix|British Motorcycle Grand Prix]]. 1977 marked the beginning of this era, and Silverstone was the chosen venue. It took place on 14 August, with [[Pat Hennen]] riding a [[Suzuki RG500]] to victory from [[Steve Baker (motorcyclist)|Steve Baker]] (Yamaha).<ref name=Carter>Chris Carter, "Motocourse 1977–1979" (Hazleton Securities Ltd, {{ISBN|0 905138-04-X}}, 1979)</ref>

The International Trophy attracted World Championship contenders for the last time in 1978 but the race witnessed the début of the epoch-making [[Lotus 79]] in the hands of [[Mario Andretti]]. Such events as this gave the Formula One also-rans a chance to start, which they were normally denied in Grands Prix; two such were the [[Theodore Racing|Theodore]] and [[Fittipaldi Automotive|Fittipaldi]]. [[Keke Rosberg]] won the former in atrocious conditions from Fittipaldi in his namesake car.<ref name=Swinger/>

[[File:Martini Porsche WC001.jpg|thumb|right|[[Jochen Mass]] (Martini Racing Porsche 935) during the 1976 Silverstone Six-Hours]]
14 May witnessed the running of the Silverstone Six-Hours, a round of the World Championship for Makes. A 3.2-litre Porsche 935 won in the hands of Jacky Ickx and [[Jochen Mass]] from a 3.0-litre version driven by Wollek and [[Henri Pescarolo]]; third and fourth were BMW 320s handled by [[Harald Grohs]]/[[Eddy Joosen]] and [[Freddy Kottulinsky]]/[[Markus Hotz]]. The race was run over 235 laps of the Grand Prix circuit to make a total of a little over 689 miles which the winning car covered at {{cvt|114.914|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Silverstone-1978-05-14.html |title=Silverstone 6 Hours 1978 – Race Results |publisher=Racing Sports Cars |access-date=8 July 2013}}</ref>

Come the 1979 Grand Prix and the passage of two years had made a great difference to the performance of the turbocharged Renaults; the car which qualified on the last row in 1977 was now on the front row beside [[Alan Jones (racing driver)|Alan Jones]] in the [[Williams FW07]]. When Jones's Cosworth expired, his teammate [[Clay Regazzoni]] moved into the lead, going on to win from [[René Arnoux]] in the [[Renault RS10]] with [[Jean-Pierre Jarier]] third in the Tyrrell 009. The winner's average speed was {{cvt|138.80|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

The 1979 British Motorcycle Grand Prix was again held at Silverstone and would be one of the closest races in the history of Motorcycle Grand Prix racing. The 1978 winner [[Kenny Roberts]] and the pair of works [[Suzuki]] riders, [[Barry Sheene]] and [[Wil Hartog]] broke away from the rest of the field. After a few laps, Hartog fell off the pace as Sheene and Roberts continued to swap the lead throughout the 28-lap event, the American winning for the second time ahead of Sheene by a narrow margin of just three-hundreds of a second.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Silverstone+1979+a+Roberts+Sheene+classic |title=· Silverstone 1979 – a Roberts-Sheene classic |website=Motogp.com |date=13 January 2009 |access-date=24 May 2013 |archive-date=6 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130606231118/http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Silverstone+1979+a+Roberts+Sheene+classic |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===1980s===

In May 1980, sports cars returned in the form of the Silverstone Six-Hours, which was won by [[Alain de Cadenet]] driving a car bearing his own name, partnered by [[Desiré Wilson]]; the 235 laps (687 miles) being completed at {{cvt|114.602|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. The only other to complete the full race distance was the [[Siegfried Brunn]]/[[Jürgen Barth]] (Porsche 908/3), with a Porsche 935K Turbo driven by [[John Paul Sr. (racing driver)|John Paul]] and [[Brian Redman]] third, a lap down.<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Silverstone-1980-05-11.html |title=Silverstone 6 Hours 1980 – Race Results |publisher=Racing Sports Cars |access-date=8 July 2013}}</ref>

1981 saw the arrival of the one-one-one grid, staggered in two rows. The turbocharged era saw Renault occupying the front row of the grid, and turbo-engined Ferraris fourth and eighth. The Renaults dominated the race, but total reliability was still lacking and the victory went to [[John Watson (racing driver)|John Watson]] in a [[McLaren MP4/1]]. Second place went to [[Carlos Reutemann]] in the [[Williams FW07]]C from the Talbot-Ligier JS17 of [[Jacques Laffite]], a lap down; the race speed was down a little at {{cvt|137.64|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

For 1982, endurance sport car racing entered a rejuvenated phrase with the coming of [[Group C]]; the BRDC and l'Automobile Club de l'Ouest instituted a joint Silverstone/Le Mans Challenge Trophy. The trophy eventually went to Jacky Ickx and [[Derek Bell (racing driver)|Derek Bell]] in a [[Porsche 956]], but at Silverstone they could not make maximum use of the fuel allowance and victory went to the [[Lancia LC1]] of [[Riccardo Patrese]] and [[Michele Alboreto]]. The winning car completed the 240 laps at a speed of {{cvt|128.5|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, with the second-place car three laps adrift, that of Ickx/Bell. The final podium place went to the [[Joest Racing]] Porsche 936C Turbo of Bob Wollek/[[Jean-Michel Martin]]/[[Philippe Martin (racing driver)|Philippe Martin]].<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Silverstone-1982-05-16.html |title=Silverstone 6 Hours 1982 – Race Results |publisher=Racing Sports Cars |access-date=8 July 2013}}</ref>

May 1983 saw the running of the Silverstone 1000 kilometres, which was a round of the newly instigated World Endurance Championship. Porsche dominated the event, taking the first five places, with Derek Bell and [[Stefan Bellof]] bringing their 956 home ahead of Wollek and [[Stefan Johansson]] in an identical car.<ref name=Swinger/>

In the [[1983 British Grand Prix]], the first Cosworth-powered car was in 13th place on the grid, all the cars ahead of it being powered by turbocharged engines. Fuel consumption of the turbos was heavy and refuelling mid-race had become necessary. With the ever-increasing power, speeds were continually on the up and in practice René Arnoux became the first person to lap the circuit in under 1:10.000 with a time of 1:09.462 in his [[Ferrari 126C|Ferrari 126C3]], a lap at over {{cvt|150|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. In the race, the lap record was raised to over {{cvt|140|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} by Frenchman [[Alain Prost]], who won the race in the [[Renault RE40]] at an average speed of {{cvt|139.218|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, from [[Nelson Piquet]] in the [[Brabham BT52|Brabham-BMW BT52B]] and [[Patrick Tambay]] in a Ferrari. Finishing fourth, also using Renault power, was the [[Lotus 94T]] of [[Nigel Mansell]].<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone3">{{cite web|url=http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/1980s/ |title=The History of British Motorsport and Motor Racing at Silverstone – The 1980s |website=Silverstone.co.uk |date=5 September 2009 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

The 1985 International Trophy, run on 24 March, was the inaugural event under the regulations for the new [[Formula 3000|International Formula 3000]]. New Zealand driver [[Mike Thackwell]] won the International Trophy for the third time, and the first F3000 race in the process, driving a [[Ralt|Ralt RT20]] from [[John Nielsen (racing driver)|John Nielsen]] in a similar car. Third place went a March 85B driven by [[Michel Ferté]].<ref name=Swinger/>

Six weeks later, sports cars returned for the Silverstone 1000&nbsp;km. Porsche cars took five of the top six placings in the shape of four 962Cs and a 956. The winners were the works pairing of Ickx/Mass from their teammates Bell and [[Hans-Joachim Stuck]]; third was the Lancia-Martini of Patrese and [[Alessandro Nannini]].

[[File:Keke Rosberg Williams FW10 1985 German GP.jpg|thumb|right|[[Keke Rosberg]] driving the [[Williams FW10]] at the [[1985 German Grand Prix]]. Rosberg lapped Silverstone at over {{cvt|160|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, during qualifying for the [[1985 British Grand Prix]]]]

The 1985 British Grand Prix saw Keke Rosberg in his {{Convert|1150|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} [[Williams FW10]]-[[Honda F1|Honda]] set a qualifying lap at over {{cvt|160|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Three others clocked an average lap speed of over {{cvt|159|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Rosberg set his time despite a deflating rear tyre and the track still being slightly damp from earlier rain. The turbo era had reached its zenith, and while Prost put the lap record up to {{cvt|150.035|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, like most races of the era it was something of an economy run as the [[FIA]] had limited fuel capacities (220 litres per car per race). Prost went on the win in the race, in the [[McLaren MP4/2B]], at an average of {{cvt|146.246|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} from the [[Ferrari 156/85]] of Alboreto and the [[Ligier JS25]] of Laffite.<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone3"/>

The International season opened on 13 April with the first round of the Intercontinental F3000 Championship. The first home was [[Pascal Fabré]] with a Lola T86/50 from [[Emanuele Pirro]] (March) and Nielsen (Ralt).<ref name=Swinger/>

In 1986, the Silverstone 1000&nbsp;km run on 5 May was a round of the World Endurance Championship, which Silk Cut Jaguar ([[Tom Walkinshaw Racing]]) won. The [[Derek Warwick]]/[[Eddie Cheever]] XJR9 was the only car to complete the distance of 212 laps, at a speed of {{cvt|129.05|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. The Stuck/Bell Porsche 962C was two laps down in second place, with a 962C a further three laps adrift in the hands of [[Jo Gartner]] and [[Tiff Needell]].<ref name=Swinger/>

Due to safety concerns over high speeds, by the time the Grand Prix returned in Silverstone in 1987, a new corner had been inserted before Woodcote. The first International meeting in 1987 was the initial round of the Intercontinental F3000 Championship on 12 April. The race was run at {{cvt|103.96|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, the winner being [[Maurício Gugelmin]] in a Ralt from [[Michel Trollé]] in a Lola and [[Roberto Moreno]] aboard another Ralt.<ref name=Swinger/>

In 1987, Jaguar won the Silverstone 1000&nbsp;km, their fourth successive win in the World Sports Car Championship. The XJR8s took a one-two finish, with the car of Cheever and [[Raul Boesel]] winning ahead of [[Jan Lammers]] and Watson, with the [[Porsche 962|Porsche 962C]] of Stuck and Bell third; these three crews covered the whole lap distance of 210 laps of the full GP circuit, the winning Jaguar averaging {{cvt|123.42|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

From the 1987 British Grand Prix onwards, the event was firmly established at Silverstone. The first two placings in 1987 were a repeat of the 1986 race at Brands Hatch, Mansell winning from his Williams-Honda teammate Piquet at {{cvt|146.208|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} and [[Ayrton Senna]] in the Lotus-Honda. Following a mid-race pit stop in a bid to cure a vibration in the car, Mansell found himself 29 seconds behind Piquet with 28 laps to go. He quickly cut Piquet's lead by more than a second per lap, until with five laps to go the gap was only 1.6 seconds. With two laps to go, Mansell slipstreamed Piquet down the ''Hangar Straight'', jinked left and then dived right to pass Piquet into ''Stowe''. To a tumultuous reception, Mansell went on to win the race.<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone3"/>

1987 saw the inaugural World Touring Car Championship arrive at Silverstone. [[Luis Pérez-Sala]] led the race until the penultimate lap, with a lead of nearly one minute, but then his Bigazzi-entered BMW M3 retired. He had not been sure that the car would start the race after [[Olivier Grouillard]] rolled it in practice. However, the Munich marque still took victory when the CiBiEmme Sport's M3 finished first, in the hands of [[Enzo Calderari]] and Fabio Mancini. The Schnitzer M3 of [[Roberto Ravaglia]], [[Roland Ratzenberger]] and Pirro managed to finished second, ahead of the Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo of [[Giorgio Francia]] and [[Nicola Larini]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.touringcarracing.net/Races/1987%20Silverstone.html |title=1987 WTC – round 7 |website=Touringcarracing.net |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

The 1988 race was won at {{cvt|124.142|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, the dramatic reduction in race speed being due to heavy rain. Senna took victory in his McLaren from Mansell (Williams) and Nannini (Benetton).<ref name=Swinger/><ref name="silverstone3"/>

The 1988 Silverstone 1000&nbsp;km saw Cheever take a hat-trick of victories for Jaguar, this time partnered by [[Martin Brundle]]. The XJR9 won at {{cvt|128.02|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} from the Sauber-Mercedes C9 driven by [[Jean-Louis Schlesser]] and Mass. The second Sauber driven by [[Mauro Baldi]] and [[James Weaver (racing driver)|James Weaver]], was third, two laps down, while third on the road was the Porsche 962C of Bell and Needell which was disqualified for an oversize fuel tank.<ref name=Swinger/>

April 1989 saw the first round of the 1989 International F3000 Championship. [[Thomas Danielsson]] won at the wheel of a [[Reynard 89D]], at a speed of {{cvt|131.56|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Second by 0.5secs was [[Philippe Favre]] in a [[Lola T89/50]] from [[Mark Blundell]] and [[Jean Alesi]] in Reynards.<ref name=Swinger/>

Mid-July is the traditional time for the British Grand Prix and on the 16th, over 90,000 spectators converged upon the circuit to see Prost score his 38th GP win in the [[McLaren MP4/5|McLaren-Honda MP4/5]], at {{cvt|143.694|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Mansell brought the [[Ferrari 640]] into second place from Nannini's Benetton.

===1990s===
[[File:Mansell and Senna at Silverstone.jpg|thumb|right|[[Nigel Mansell]] gives [[Ayrton Senna]] a lift back to the pits on the side-pod of his Williams FW14.]]
The weekend of 19/20 May 1990 was a busy one at Silverstone, for on the Saturday, a round of the FIA F3000 Championship was run on the Grand Prix circuit, and on the Sunday the contenders in the World Sports-Prototype Championship had their turn. In the F3000 race, Scotland's [[Allan McNish]] led [[Érik Comas]] home from [[Marco Apicella]]. The first two were [[Lola T90/50]] mounted, while the third-placed car was a [[Reynard 90D]]. The sports cars again ran over 300 miles, contesting the Shell BRDC Empire Trophy. The first three places went to British cars, with Jaguar first and second from a Spice-Cosworth in the hands of [[Fermín Vélez]] and [[Bruno Giacomelli]]. The winning Jaguar XJR11 of Martin Brundle and [[Michel Ferté]] was the only to run the full distance of 101 laps, lapping even the second-placed XJR11 of [[Jan Lammers]] and [[Andy Wallace (racing driver)|Andy Wallace]].<ref name=Swinger/>

And so to July, and the British Grand Prix. Once again, it was over {{convert|190|mi|km|abbr=out}} and was won at {{cvt|145.253|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Alain Prost was now driving for Ferrari and his victory was rounded by [[Thierry Boutsen]] in the Williams in second, and Ayrton Senna's McLaren in third.<ref name=Swinger/>

After the Grand Prix, it had already been decided to extensively redesign Silverstone's layout. Nearly every part of Silverstone (except ''Copse'', ''Abbey'' and all of the straights, save the ''Farm Straight'') was redesigned. The ultra-high speed ''Club'' and ''Stowe'' corners were made slower and a chicane was placed before ''Club''. ''Maggotts'', ''Becketts'' and ''Chapel'' were re-designed as very fast snaky esses that proved to be even more challenging than the original series of corners – the considerable amount of lateral acceleration change from side to side became the highlighted challenge of the new circuit. A new twisty infield section called ''Luffield'' was created in place of the ''Farm Straight'' and the ''Bridge'' chicane. Despite these alterations, the Grand Prix and World Sportscar circuses both very much approved of the new layout: Silverstone was still fast, which is what it has always been known for.

When the Group C cars returned in 1991, they raced for the World Sports Car Championship, but the race distance was reduced to {{convert|269|mi|km|abbr=out}} (83 laps of the GP circuit) and it was a straight battle between Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz, with victory going to the Jaguar XJR14 of [[Teo Fabi]] and Derek Warwick at a speed of {{cvt|122.048|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. In second place, four laps behind, came the Mercedes C291 of [[Michael Schumacher]] and [[Karl Wendlinger]], followed by the singleton driver XJR14 of Brundle.<ref name=Swinger/>

July came, and with it came, of course, the Grand Prix. The almost unbelievably popular victory was Nigel Mansell's 18th Grand Prix win, making him the most successful British driver ever. Only two other drivers completed the full race distance: [[Gerhard Berger]] for McLaren and Prost for Ferrari.<ref name=Swinger/>

1992 was once more a very busy International season for Silverstone with a round of the International F3000 Championship, the World Sports Car Championship, and of course, the Grand Prix. The first two were run on the same day, 10 May. Although the practice was spoilt by hailstorm, the races were run in bright weather. The F3000 victor was [[Jordi Gené]] who completed the 37 laps at a speed of {{cvt|121.145|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} in a Reynard-Mugen 92D, from a similar Judd-engined example in the hands of [[Rubens Barrichello]]. Lola-Cosworth were third and fourth, driven by [[Olivier Panis]] and [[Emanuele Naspetti]].<ref name=Swinger/>

1992 was also notable for the title decider for the [[1992 British Touring Car Championship|British Touring Car Championship]] which involved an incident between [[Tim Harvey]] and [[John Cleland (racing driver)|John Cleland]], during which Cleland gave a [[The finger|middle finger]] to Harvey's BMW teammate [[Steve Soper]], prompting [[Murray Walker]] to exclaim "'I'm going for first,' says John Cleland!" A few corners later, Soper and Cleland both crashed out, gifting the title to Harvey. This is widely viewed as one of the most iconic moments in BTCC history.<ref>{{Citation |title=BTCC Silverstone 1992 Round 15 | date=15 March 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzxLgAwfeIQ |access-date=2023-07-12 |language=en}}</ref>

The sports car race was a sad affair, with but a handful of cars coming to the grid. There were 11 starters and just five finishers. The race was won by the Peugeot 905 of Warwick and [[Yannick Dalmas]] at {{cvt|122.661|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, two laps ahead of the [[Maurizio Sandro Sala]]/[[Johnny Herbert]] Mazda MXR-01 which was four laps ahead of the Lola-Judd T92/10 driven by [[Jésus Pareja]] and [[Stefan Johansson]]. At the end of the season, the World Sports Car Championship was no more.<ref name=Swinger/>

The Grand Prix was a happier affair with Williams-Renaults of Mansell and Riccardo Patrese taking top honours from the Benettons of Brundle and Schumacher. Mansell dominated practice and the race, winning at {{cvt|133.772|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

Six days after competing at Donington Park, the F3000 guys were at Silverstone for the second round of the 1993 International F3000 Championship. [[Gil de Ferran]] won at {{cvt|119.462|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} from [[David Coulthard]] and [[Michael Bartels]] – all were driving Cosworth powered Reynard 93Ds.<ref name=Swinger/>

Despite back-to-back Grand Prix victories for Williams, Mansell would not be back in 1993 to try for a famous hat-trick as he was racing in the States. However, things looked good for his replacement, [[Damon Hill]] after he set the fastest time in practice, but Prost (now at Williams) pipped him to pole by just 0.128secs and he went on to win the race after Hill's engine exploded 18 laps from home. Second and third were the Benettons of Schumacher and Patrese.<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/1990s/ |title=The History of British Motorsport and Motor Racing at Silverstone – The 1990s |website=Silverstone.co.uk |date=5 September 2009 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref>

A year later, the Grand Prix was a race of controversy which rumbled on for most of the season: Hill was barely ahead of Schumacher on the grid and on the formation lap the young German sprinted ahead of him, which was not allowed under the rules (cars were required to maintain station during the formation lap). The race authorities informed Benetton that their man had been penalised 5 seconds for his transgression but they did not realise that it was a stop/go penalty and did not call Schumacher in, so he was black-flagged. Schumacher ignored the black flag for six laps, and for failing to respond to the black flag Schumacher was disqualified, having finished second on the road. Hill won the race from Jean Alesi in the Ferrari and Mika Häkkinen in the McLaren.<ref name=Swinger/>

The 1994 F3000 race was an all [[Reynard 94D]] affair. The 38-lap race was won by [[Franck Lagorce]] winning at {{cvt|119.512|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, from Coulthard and de Ferran. The race distance for the following season had increased by two. Victorious on this occasion was [[Riccardo Rosset]] driving Super Nova's Reynard-Cosworth AC 95D. His teammate [[Vincenzo Sospiri]] finished second, while [[Allan McNish]] was third in a Zytek-Judd KV-engined 95D.<ref name=Swinger/>

Hill and Schumacher were not having a happy 1995 and managed to take each other off after the final pit stops, leaving Coulthard in the lead which he lost when he had to take a 10 sec 'stop/go' penalty for speeding in the pit lane. All of this left Herbert to take his maiden Grand Prix win – he was euphoric and was held shoulder high on the podium by the second and third-placed men, Coulthard and Alesi.<ref name=Swinger/>

On 12 May 1996, the Northamptonshire circuit hosted a round of the International BPR series which was very a British affair. First was the [[McLaren F1 GTR]] of Andy Wallace and [[Olivier Grouillard]] followed by the Jan Lammers/[[Perry McCarthy]] Lotus Esprit and another McLaren in the hands of [[James Weaver (racing driver)|James Weaver]] and [[Ray Bellm]].<ref name=Swinger/>

At the Grand Prix on 14 July, Damon Hill qualified first. He spun out of contention when a front wheel nut became loose, and his teammate [[Jacques Villeneuve]] went on to win at a fraction over {{cvt|124|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, from Berger's Benetton and the McLaren of Häkkinen.<ref name=Swinger/>

The 1997 Grand Prix was again won by Villeneuve at the wheel of a Williams-Renault at a speed of {{cvt|128.443|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} from the Benettons of Alesi and [[Alexander Wurz]].<ref name=Swinger/>

From the start of 1998, the FIA decreed that all Formula One grids must be straight: in order to comply with this, the RAC moved the start line forward at Silverstone but not, significantly, the finish line. This led to some confusion at the end of the Grand Prix, which was scheduled for 60 laps, but was effectively 59.95 laps. With the timing being taken from the finish line and not the start line, the winning car was in the pits at the end of the race and the Ferrari pit was situated between the two lines. The chequered flag is supposed to be waved at the winning car and then showed to the other competitors, but it was waved at the second man who thought that he had won.<ref name=Swinger/>

Victory went to Schumacher at the wheel of a Ferrari in appalling conditions. In addition to pit lane confusion, he was penalised 10 seconds for passing another racer under a yellow flag. The stewards failed to inform the teams of their decision in the proper manner so Schumacher took his stop go penalty in the pits, after the race was over. McLaren appealed to the FIA, but the appeal was rejected and the results were confirmed, with Häkkinen second in the McLaren and [[Eddie Irvine]] third in the second Ferrari.<ref name=Swinger/>

Victory in the 1999 British Grand Prix went to Coulthard's McLaren-Mercedes with an average speed of {{cvt|124.256|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Swinger/>

===2000s===

For Silverstone's first Grand Prix of the 21st Century, the FIA decreed that the race should be moved to April, and the event took place over Easter, with the GP itself run on Easter Sunday. In hindsight this was a poor decision by the FIA, who failed to take into account the unpredictable weather in Britain at this time of year. It rained almost continually for the best part of three weeks before the event and most of Good Friday; by Easter Saturday the car parks had virtually collapsed and were completely closed. Although most of the race day itself was fine, the damage was done and many thousands of spectators were unable to get to Silverstone to witness David Coulthard win his second straight victory in the event, from his McLaren teammate Mika Häkkinen, with Michael Schumacher third for Ferrari.<ref name=Swinger/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/2000s/ |title=The History of British Motorsport and Motor Racing at Silverstone – The 2000s |website=Silverstone.co.uk |date=5 September 2009 |access-date=25 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130519010954/http://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/history/2000s/ |archive-date=19 May 2013}}</ref>

On 14 May, the FIA GT Championship came to Northants, in slightly more clement conditions and victory went to [[Julian Bailey (racing driver)|Julian Bailey]] and [[Jamie Campbell-Walter]] driving a [[Lister Storm|Lister Storm GT]] from no fewer than four [[Chrysler Viper GTS-R]]s.<ref name=Swinger/>

The [[2000 Silverstone 500 USA Challenge]] was the first American Le Mans Series race to be held outside of North America. It served as a precursor to the creation of the European Le Mans Series by gauging the willingness of European teams from the FIA Sportscar Championship and FIA GT Championship to participate in a series identical to the American Le Mans Series. This event also shared the weekend at Silverstone with an FIA GT round, with some GT teams running both events. The race was won by the [[Schnitzer Motorsport]]'s BMW V12 LMP of [[Jörg Müller]] and [[JJ Lehto]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.imsaracing.net/archives/2000silverstone.pdf |title=Silverstone 500, USA Challenge May 13, 2000 Official results |publisher=European Le Mans Series |date=13 May 2000 |access-date=8 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051016112035/http://www.imsaracing.net/archives/2000silverstone.pdf |archive-date=16 October 2005}}</ref>

Formula One returned for the 2001 British Grand Prix in July to see Häkkinen triumph having managing to overtake the driver in pole, Schumacher. Schumacher, driving for Ferrari finished second while teammate Barrichello gained the final spot in the podium.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/1440098.stm |title=Hakkinen halts Schumacher charge |publisher=BBC |date=15 July 2001 |access-date=25 May 2013}}</ref>

The 2002 British Grand Prix saw Ferrari return to the top two steps of the podium with Schumacher beating Barrichello, while pole-sitter and Williams driver [[Juan Pablo Montoya]] finished in third. These three drivers, as well as gaining the top three qualifying places, were the only drivers to finish on the lead lap. This year marked the first year of British Grand Prix being promoted by American sports agency [[Octagon (sports agency)|Octagon]] pursuant to lease agreement with BRDC signed in December 2000.<ref>Brands Hatch Leisure Limited Directors' Report and Financial Statements - Year Ended 31 December 2000 from [[Companies House]]</ref> Octagon also assumed the management of the circuit and acquired the assets and liabilities of Silverstone Circuits Limited from BRDC. BRDC kept the ownership of the circuit.

Although the 2003 Grand Prix was won by pole-sitter Barrichello for Ferrari, the race is probably most remembered for a track invasion by the defrocked priest, [[Neil Horan]], who ran along Hangar Straight, head-on to the {{cvt|175|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} train of cars, wearing a saffron kilt and waving religious banners. [[Kimi Räikkönen]] (McLaren) was pressured by Barrichello into losing the lead and an unforced error later on allowed Montoya to seize second.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/3082529.stm |title=A very British curse |publisher=BBC Sport |date=20 July 2003 |access-date=8 July 2013 |first=Jonathan |last=Legard}}</ref>

[[Neil Hodgson]] had a brilliant World Superbike meeting in 2003. The Fila Ducati rider withstood the attention of [[James Toseland]] in the first race and then fellow Ducati pilot, [[Gregorio Lavilla]] in the second, just 0.493secs ahead of the Spaniard. [[Rubén Xaus]] claimed two third-place finishes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/464/5995/Motorcycle-Article/2003-WSB-Silverstone-Results.aspx |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130629220021/http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/464/5995/Motorcycle-Article/2003-WSB-Silverstone-Results.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 June 2013 |title=2003 WSB Silverstone Results |publisher=Motorcycle USA |access-date=8 July 2013 }}</ref>

On 30 September 2004, [[British Racing Drivers' Club]] president [[Jackie Stewart]] announced that the British Grand Prix would not be included on the 2005 provisional race calendar and, if it were, would probably not occur at Silverstone.<ref>{{cite web |date=1 October 2004 |title=''British GP set for axe'' |url=http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=31255 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050324205440/http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=31255 |archive-date=24 March 2005 |access-date=5 July 2010 |website=Itv-f1.com}}</ref> However, on 9 December an agreement was reached with former Formula One rights holder [[Bernie Ecclestone]] ensuring that the track would host the British Grand Prix until 2009 after which [[Donington Park]] would become the new host.

When the Le Mans Prototypes returned in 2004, they raced for the Le Mans Series over a distance of 1000&nbsp;km. It was a straight battle between the pair of Audi R8's of Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx and Team Goh's singleton R8, with victory going to the Veloqx pair of Allan McNish and [[Pierre Kaffer]]. In second place, one lap behind was [[Rinaldo Capello]] and [[Seiji Ara]] for Team Goh, followed by the all British pair of Johnny Herbert and [[Jamie Davies]] for Veloqx.<ref name="europeanlemansseries1">{{cite web |url=http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s02_corporate/s02p16_lms_story.php |title=European Le Mans Series |publisher=European Le Mans Series |date=9 May 2004 |access-date=25 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810013456/http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s02_corporate/s02p16_lms_story.php |archive-date=10 August 2013}}</ref>

A crowd of 27,000 welcomed back the World Touring Car Championship. The Alfa Romeo drivers dominated the first race, on a sunny 15 May 2005. [[Gabriele Tarquini]] scored a lights to flag victory, leading home an Alfa quartet. Behind the Italian, a tough fight for second between [[James Thompson (racing driver)|James Thompson]] and [[Fabrizio Giovanardi]], with a number of overtaking and paint swapping moves, also involving the BMW 320i of [[Andy Priaulx]].

Following [[Lewis Hamilton|Hamilton's]] victory in the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, Silverstone reported that ticket sales had "gone through the roof"; circuit director Ian Phillips added, "we haven't seen this level of interest since Mansell-mania in the late 80s and early 90s". Hamilton qualified his McLaren on pole. However, race day saw Räikkönen move ahead during the first round of pit stops.

The 2011 6 Hours of Silverstone witnessed a nose-to-tail fight between the Audi R18 of Bernhard and Fässler and the Peugeot 908 of [[Sébastien Bourdais]] and [[Simon Pagenaud]], but was temporarily finished after a spin by Bernhard. A conservative drive from Pagenaud saw him caught and then overtaken by Fässler. Pagenaud picked up the pace and the two cars were on each other's tails until the end of the fourth hour when damaged rear bodywork needed replacing on the Audi. This gave the Peugeot a one-minute advantage that it did not give up. Third was the [[OAK Racing]]'s Pescarolo 01 piloted by [[Olivier Pla]] and [[Alexandre Prémat]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/event/282/2011-Le-Mans-Series-6-Hours-of-Silverstone-ILMC.html |title=2011 Le Mans Series 6 Hours of Silverstone (ILMC) – Report and Slideshow |website=Ultimatecarpage.com |access-date=8 July 2013}}</ref>

The escalating costs of the British Grand Prix led to the BRDC triggering a [[break clause]] in their contract, meaning that the 2019 British Grand Prix would be the last at the Silverstone Circuit. Although there was speculation of a street race in London, lengthy negotiations with Liberty Media led to a new agreement for Silverstone to continue to host the British Grand Prix for a further five years after 2019.<ref>{{cite web |date=10 July 2019 |title=F1 announce British GP at Silverstone is saved with new five-year deal {{!}} British Grand Prix |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/10/f1-poised-announce-british-grand-prix-silverstone-saved-motor-sport |access-date=4 January 2022 |website=The Guardian}}</ref>
