About Silverstone Museum
Silverstone Museum, located trackside at Silverstone Circuit in a former WW2 hangar, takes visitors on a journey of the circuit’s history – from an RAF airfield to a world-leading Formula 1 race track. It boasts numerous exhibits where visitors can try out a wide variety of activities – from operating a wind tunnel, piloting a Wellington bomber, and climbing into a replica Grand Prix car. Visitors can even see whether they have got what it takes to commentate on a Formula 1 Grand Prix.
In addition to the hands-on fun, the museum features some of the most iconic cars and bikes that have played a part in the 75-year history of Silverstone circuit including Mansell’s iconic “Red 5”, an E.R.A from the first ever Grand Prix held at the venue in 1948 and Barry Sheene’s 1979 Suzuki motorbike. Rounding off a visit is a thrilling immersive film show – the ultimate lap of Silverstone – bringing together some of the circuit’s most famous racing moments with commentary from Murray Walker, Martin Brundle and David Croft.
