歴史的なサーキットは、新たな10年契約に関してフォーミュラ1との合意に達しました。これは将来に向けた良い兆候です。このレポートでは、この進展の背後にある理由について情報を提供します。
1950年の最初のフォーミュラ1ワールドチャンピオンシップレース以来、サーキットのフォーミュラ1カレンダーへの位置には不確実性がありました。しかし、新たな10年契約により、シルバーストンをイギリスモータースポーツの中心地と自負する英国レーシングドライバーズクラブ(BDRC)にとって、必要な安定性をもたらすでしょう。

合意を確認する公式声明で、フォーミュラ1の社長兼CEOであるステファノ・ドメニカリは、シルバーストンのトラックを象徴的な会場とし、フォーミュラ1の歴史における重要な役割を強調しました。彼は、トラック上でのエキサイティングなレースと、トラック外でのファンにとって特別な体験を通じて、世界中からファンを引きつける能力を認めました。
このトラックの輝かしい歴史は、それ自体で語っています。1955年から1986年まで、シルバーストンはAintreeと後のブランズハッチと共に英国選手権ラウンドを共有していました。1987年以降、シルバーストンは毎年レースを独占的に開催しており、2020年のCovid-19パンデミックの困難な状況下で2つのグランプリレースを組織するという驚異的な業績もあります。
シルバーストンはまた、レースの週末にファン向けの様々なエンターテイメントオプションを提供する先駆者の一つでもあります。これは、スポーツの拡大、ファンの参加、より広い観客の獲得を目指したアプローチであり、現在はフォーミュラ1オーナーであるリバティメディアの取り組みの中心となっています。
Last year, Max Verstappen’s victory at Silverstone attracted a record audience of 480,000 fans, making it the track with the highest attendance throughout the 2023 season. This impressive participation certainly worked in favor of Liberty Media’s plans to expand the calendar and introduce new races near densely populated areas.
As a result, more traditional and historic racing circuits now face pressure due to concerns about outdated facilities, the need for modernization, and accessibility. Fortunately, these concerns are not a problem for Silverstone, as they recently signed a five-year contract in 2019. However, the track’s financial difficulties at that time made it uncertain whether they could afford the race fee. The fact that a ten-year agreement has now been reached indicates a change in their planning.
It remains to be seen how much of this change can be attributed to the modernization efforts already undertaken in recent years, such as the opening of a museum and a hotel on-site. Additionally, it is unclear whether other improvements are part of their future plans under the new contract.
Stuart Pringle, CEO of Silverstone, expressed satisfaction with the long-term commitment, stating that it reflects the importance of the British Grand Prix to Formula 1. He also acknowledged the enthusiasm and knowledge of British fans, who are among the most passionate in the world.
Now that contractual security is in place, it will be interesting to see how development plans progress rapidly. Regardless, the confirmation of the long-term British Grand Prix at Silverstone is excellent news for all involved.
