MotoGP: Silverstone
Since its return to the MotoGP calendar in 2010, Silverstone has established itself as an important part of the racing season. Renowned for its demanding layout, the circuit's high-speed corners and lengthy 5.9-kilometre track have made it a favourite among fans and riders alike.
While the track's blend of long straights, rapid turns, and technical sections typically delivers thrilling, close-quarters racing, the 2023 season introduced a new dynamic. The relocation of the start-finish line from the National Pit Straight to the Hamilton Straight, part of the circuit's return to its original "Wing" configuration, presented a fresh challenge for riders and teams.
Despite its origins as a World War II airfield, Silverstone's relatively flat terrain masks its difficulty. Iconic sections like Copse, Maggots-Becketts-Chapel, and Stowe continue to test the limits of riders and machinery.
