Event Facts

Silverstone’s original GP layout played host to the second ever British GT meeting in 1993 when Win Percy’s development-spec Jaguar XJ220 romped to an emphatic victory. Since then its National, International and various GP circuits have welcomed the championship on another 45 occasions, while Silverstone is one of just two venues (the other being Donington Park) to have hosted a British GT round in every one of its 25 seasons to date.
