High quality print on cotton canvas of the world renowned and Silverstone circuit, comes beautifully framed in a sleek modern black frame.
The Silverstone circuit, which was originally an RAF bomber station called RAF Silverstone during World War II, is located on the site of the former airfield. The airfield had three runways arranged in a classic triangular pattern, which now form the outline of the current racing track. The circuit has gone through various modifications since its initial use in the 1940s. Silverstone saw its first use in motorsport when a group of friends organised an impromptu race in September 1947. One of the members, Maurice Geoghegan, who lived in nearby Silverstone village, knew that the airfield was deserted and suggested it as a racing venue. Geoghegan and 11other drivers raced on a makeshift two-mile circuit, but during the race, Geoghegan accidentally ran over a sheep that had wandered onto the airfield, resulting in the sheep being killed and Geoghegan's car being written off. This incident led to the informal race being nicknamed the "Mutton Grand Prix."
The following year, the Royal Automobile Club leased the airfield and established a more formal racing circuit. The initial races were held on the runways themselves, with long straights and tight hairpin corners marked by hay bales. However, for the 1949 International Trophy meeting, the racing was switched to the perimeter track, which was also used for the 1950 and 1951 Grand Prix races. In 1952, the start line was moved to a straight between Woodcote and Copse corners, and this layout remained largely unchanged for the next 38 years. A chicane was added in 1975 to control speeds through Woodcote Corner, though MotoGP continued to use the circuit without the chicane until 1986
