History of the Grand Prix

The British Grand Prix has produced some of Formula One’s most historic and memorable records and races. Silverstone hosted the first Formula One Grand Prix championship race in May 1950, won by Giuseppe “Nino” Farina in an Alfa Romeo in front of the watching King George VI. It has held all but 17 of the British GP races since then and remains one of the fastest, most exciting and challenging events in the world racing calendar. The atmosphere is unbeatable, too!
