Silverstone has boosted its capacity by a further 3,500 seats to meet the demand of this years Britsh Grand Prix following a sell-out race last season.
Two new grandstands – the Luffield Complex Grandstand and the Silverstone Grandstand – have been constructed to boost the circuits total capacity to over 125,000.
Sales of tickest for this years race are already up by 10 per cent on the same period in 2011, with the strong showing from McLaren drivers Lewis Hamiltion and Jenson Button the likely cause.
“We had fantastic crowds on all three days of last year’s British Grand Prix and interest in this year’s event has been even higher,” said the circuit’s managing director Richard Phillips.
“Increasing our capacity will enable even more fans to experience the spectacle, excitement and drama of Formula One at Silverstone.
“We pride ourselves on striving to provide the best experience for fans – with grandstands and General Admission areas offering exceptional views of the track, first class spectator facilities and a host of exhilarating off-track entertainment, the fans can expect another fantastic three days at this year’s British Grand Prix.”
