The book is profusely illustrated, including plenty of great photographs that have rarely been published. Early days: a wartime airfield, the Royal Automobile Clubs search for a motorsport venue, the first RAC Grand Prix of 1948.

The people: drivers, personalities, commentators. Packed with firsthand interview content from significant people in Silverstones history. Contains a wealth of historic photographs, many in colour. Updated material includes an account of the protracted negotiations with Liberty Media over the contract to stage the British Grand Prix, management changes at the circuit and the selling of land to repay loans. The story is brought right up to date with the signing of a new tenyear Grand Prix contract in 2024, and the development of the Silverstone Museum along with other major new projects.Produced with the full assistance of the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) and Silverstone Circuits Ltd, this is the last word on the history of the muchloved home of British motor racing, from its beginnings in the aftermath of the Second World War to its status now as a worldclass motorsport venue.
