Silverstone's History:-
Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit is built on the site of RAF Silverstone, on the borders of Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, roughly equidistant from Milton Keynes and Northampton. The much improved A43 bypass now allows the heavy Race Day traffic to flow, and shuttle busses run regularly from both Milton Keynes and Northampton mainline Train Stations. For some however, the only way to arrive at the Circuit is via Helicopter, which results in Silverstone becoming the UK’s busiest Airport on Race Sunday.
Silverstone was opened as a World War Two airfield in 1943, near the leafy village of the same name. Once the war had ended in 1945 Britain was left with a number of redundant airfields but without a major race track Donington Park was still a military vehicle storage depot, Brooklands had been sold off, Crystal Palace was in a state of disrepair and Brands Hatch was still under-developed.
The Royal Automobile Club was interested in Silverstone as a potential site and approached the Air Ministry in 1948 and a lease was arranged. At this time the centre of Silverstone Circuit was a farm producing cereal crops and also a piggery so the RAC employed farmer James Wilson Brown to create the first Grand Prix circuit at the site and gave him just two months to build it.
On October 2nd, 1948, amid straw bales and ropes, Silverstone's first event took place, the RAC Grand Prix. The crowds came in their thousands, thrilled to see the return of Grand Prix racing after so many years of war austerity.
