British GP Weekend 2008 - Circuit Map & Notes

2008 sees Silverstone host the British Grand Prix for the 42nd time.

The Northamptonshire circuit is about halfway between Birmingham to the north and Oxford to the south.

Formerly a military airfield during the Second World War, the venue saw its first race on 2nd October 1948.

Since the official inauguration of Formula One (from 1950), the British GP has also been held in Aintree (five times) and Brands Hatch (12 times).

England has also played host to three European Grands Prix: at Brands Hatch in 1983 and 1985 and at Donington Park in 1993.
