Silverstone's guide to grandstands
19 September 2023The British Grand Prix is an extraordinary F1 spectacle wherever you’re sitting, but some grandstands are better suited to different kinds of race-day drama. Whether it’s the high-speed commitment of Maggots and Becketts, the overtaking hotspot at Stowe, or the electric atmosphere on the Hamilton Straight, there are more than 30 grandstands to choose from around Silverstone Circuit.
For 2026, every grandstand ticket includes reserved seating from Friday to Sunday, meaning you’ll have your chosen seat locked in for the entire Grand Prix weekend.
Landostand
Returning for 2026 with an all-new expanded design, the Landostand is bigger and better than ever. Situated around the ultra-fast Stowe corner, this brand-new construction features more than 16,000 seats and creates a true wrap-around viewing experience overlooking one of the best overtaking zones on the circuit.
Fans can expect incredible views of the cars charging down the Hangar Straight and diving into Stowe at hair-raising speeds, alongside exclusive entertainment, fan experiences and appearances from Lando Norris during the weekend.
The Landostand has already sold out for the 2026 British Grand Prix, but there are still plenty of other incredible grandstand options around the circuit.
Silverstone Grandstand highlights
Hamilton Straight
The Hamilton Straight grandstands place you at the centre of the action. From the build-up on the grid to the moment the lights go out, few experiences in motorsport match the atmosphere here. Depending on your seat, you may also catch podium celebrations after the chequered flag.
Abbey
Turn 1 is one of the most dramatic moments of any Grand Prix, making Abbey a superb choice for fans wanting immediate race-start action. This ultra-fast right-hander tests driver commitment from the opening lap to the final flag.
Village
Village is the first major braking zone of the lap and regularly delivers overtaking action. The pit exit also feeds directly into this section, adding another layer of unpredictability.
The Loop
Introduced in 2025, The Loop grandstand offers excellent inner-track views of Silverstone’s Arena section, from Farm Curve through to Aintree and onto the Wellington Straight. It’s an ideal spot for fans wanting to follow the rhythm of a larger section of the lap.
Luffield
With views stretching across Wellington Straight, Brooklands and Luffield, these grandstands provide some of the widest sightlines anywhere at Silverstone. Overtakes often begin into Brooklands before continuing through the complex, making this a consistently busy section of track.
Copse
One of the fastest corners in Formula 1, Copse has produced some of the British Grand Prix’s most memorable moments over the years. The speed and bravery required through this famous right-hander make it a favourite among long-time fans.
Becketts
The Maggots and Becketts sequence remains one of the most revered in motorsport. Watching modern F1 cars change direction through these high-speed corners is a breathtaking experience and a must-see for many spectators attending the British Grand Prix.
Stowe
Positioned at the end of the Hangar Straight, Stowe is one of Silverstone’s premier overtaking opportunities. Drivers arrive at immense speed before battling for position into the corner, making it one of the best grandstands at Silverstone for wheel-to-wheel racing. During the British Grand Prix weekend, this area becomes home to the Landostand.
Club
Club Corner is one of Silverstone’s most popular grandstands thanks to its sweeping views and proximity to the podium celebrations. This section has delivered several unforgettable British Grand Prix moments, including the memorable ‘through goes Hamilton’ overtake at the 2022 British Grand Prix.
