The Silverstone Circuit, known as the “Home of British Motorsport,” was first added to iRacing on August 26, 2008. Over a decade later, iRacing completely rescanned and rebuilt the venue, releasing the upgraded version on June 4, 2019 with the 2019 Season 3 build.
This update ensured iRacers had access to the most accurate version of Silverstone available, reflecting the modern Grand Prix layout used by Formula One and other top international series.
What makes Silverstone unique in iRacing
- Historic pedigree: Hosted the first Formula One World Championship race in 1950.
- Multiple layouts: Grand Prix, International, and National configurations provide flexibility.
- High-speed challenges: Corners like Copse, Maggotts, and Becketts are among the fastest and most technical in the world.
- Overtaking opportunities: Hangar Straight and Stowe Corner define racecraft here.
- British motorsport culture: Few venues carry the same level of global recognition.
The upgraded Silverstone is one of iRacing’s crown jewels—modern, historic, and relentlessly challenging.
