5 reasons to come to Silverstone this weekend

ELMS - 11/04/2016

The first race of the 2016 European Le Mans Series will be held on the 16th of April at Silverstone and on the same weekend as the start of the FIA World Endurance Championship season. It will be a weekend full of sports car racing, entertainment and fun for all the family!

1- Enjoy two international races on the same weekend

Coming to Silverstone this weekend will give you the unique opportunity to enjoy two international endurance races.  Firstly, the opening round of the European Le Mans Series Championship, with a large 45 car entry from all over the world.  The battle will be intense!  On Sunday, the first round of the FIA WEC will take place, with the most prestigious teams and drivers in the world.

2- Meet the drivers

The autograph session will be the opportunity for you to meet your favourite drivers, take a selfie and have a little chat with them before the race on Saturday 16 of April at 12:50 during the pitwalk. This is open to all, so don’t be late if you want to be the first to meet British drivers such as Sir Chris Hoy, Harry Tincknell, Alex Brundle, Matt Bell or Jonny Adam.

3- Meet up with jabberwocky, a famous French band

The young electro-pop group will be around all weekend in the Fan area, meeting with the public, signing autographs and of course playing music: one of the must-sees of the weekend! Formed in 2013, Jabberwocky is a French group of 3 young people, their first song “Photomaton” met with great success in France and in Europe and they are now a major player on the electro-pop scene.

4- Great entertainment all around the track for all the family

A lot of entertainment will keep you busy all weekend, for the little one as well as for adults! Follow the steps of Nissan GT Academy winner Jan Mardenborough and try our racing simulator. You never know, a brand new career might be open to you!

Always wanted to see how a paddock looks like from the air? No problem, try our zipline and fly at 8.3m of high. The children will also entertain a lot of activities such as quad biking in a very safe environment.  We are sure the sun will shine but just in case, an indoor chill out zone will keep you dry with cinemas, giant screens to follow the race, remote control car track, face painting and much more inside and outside!

5- Having a great weekend with your family

Coming to the 4 Hours of Silverstone will be a great opportunity for you to spend a wonderful weekend with your family in the home of British Motorsport. It’s also the time for you to discover two of the best motorsport races in the world, and all just a few hours from anywhere in the UK.
