Silverstone f1 20216/26/2023 ![]() It was the first purpose-built motor racing venue, as well as one of the first airfields in the United Kingdom. The concrete Brooklands oval was built in 1907 near Weybridge in Surrey, located just outside the British capital of London. The event is due to take place at Silverstone Circuit until at least 2024. All British Grands Prix dating back to 1926 have been held in England, where the British motor racing industry is primarily located. It was designated the European Grand Prix five times between 19, when this title was an honorary designation given each year to one Grand Prix race in Europe. The British Grand Prix was a round of the World Manufacturers' Championship in both 19, but was never held during the existence of the European Championship. It and the Italian Grand Prix are the only two Formula One World Championship Grands Prix that have been staged during every season that the championship has been held. The British race is the oldest in the Formula One World Championship calendar as the 1950 race at Silverstone was round one of the first championship season in 1950. The 2019 event was the 70th time that the race had been run as a World Championship event since the inaugural season in 1950, and the 53rd time that a World Championship round had been held at Silverstone. The British Grand Prix is currently held at the Silverstone Circuit near the village of Silverstone in Northamptonshire in England. In 1952, following the transfer of the lease of the Silverstone Circuit to the British Racing Drivers' Club, the RAC delegated the organisation of the race to the BRDC for the first time, and this arrangement has continued for all British Grands Prix held at Silverstone since then (organisation of British Grands Prix held at Aintree having meanwhile been similarly delegated to the British Automobile Racing Club ). First held in 1926, the British Grand Prix has been held annually since 1948 and has been a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship every year since 1950. The British Grand Prix is a Grand Prix motor race organised in the United Kingdom by the Royal Automobile Club.
