Silverstone is preparing to open an international karting circuit this autumn, marking a bold new chapter in its evolution as a global motorsport destination.

Backed by a major investment from the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC), Kart Silverstone is designed to rival the very best karting circuits in the world. Blending cutting-edge track design with accessibility for all ages, the 1,377-metre track boasts six different configurations, allowing for everything from elite-level race meetings to casual sessions and corporate events.

Kart Silverstone adds a thrilling new dimension to the venue’s growing experience offer. It will play host to corporate events, team-building days, and group activities, giving businesses and guests staying at the circuit or Escapade a way to make their visit unforgettable.

Designed with input from BRDC legends, including president David Coulthard and Anthony Davidson, the track will be fully licensed to host FIA international kart events and is expected to welcome more than 160,000 visitors a year.

Stuart Pringle, CEO of Silverstone, commented: “This commitment by our owners, the British Racing Drivers’ Club, marks a significant milestone in Silverstone’s transformation into a world-class, year-round motorsport and leisure destination.  Kart Silverstone supports the BRDC’s mission to nurture new talent while also enhancing our visitor experience and expanding our product range.”
