WELCOME
Welcome Silverstone MotoGP fans !
We ’ re ready to host the Monster Energy British Grand Prix MotoGP™ 2023 and excited to welcome our fans to a new-look event , with this mid-summer two wheel spectacle returning to the International Paddock and our iconic Silverstone Wing International Conference and Exhibition Centre for the first time since 2012 . We can ’ t wait to see what our super-fast track holds for the riders in all the various Championships , but there ’ s one thing we do know – it ’ ll be dramatic , entertaining and , as always , highly competitive .
We have a packed schedule of racing action to bring you this year , including the newfor-2023 MotoGP™ Tissot Sprint on Saturday afternoon and the Silverstone debut for MotoE . With our home hero , Jake Dixon , taking a long overdue , hard-fought and welldeserved Moto2™ debut victory last time out in Assen , we ’ re looking forward to seeing whether he can repeat his success on home soil .
The entertainment will continue off-track too and we ’ ve invested heavily in this area , enhancing the fan experience by increasing the capacity of our main stage concert area where you ’ ll be able to enjoy Chase & Status DJ set on Friday night , Kaiser Chiefs on Saturday evening and Razorlight closing out Sunday . Around the venue we ’ ll have Monster Energy BMX bike shows , bike lovers merchandise , children ’ s activities and much more , creating a great festival vibe for the event .
The Silverstone Wing has become emblematic of the venue and is increasingly recognised as a symbol of the circuit ’ s world-leading commitment to sustainability . As part of our Shift to Zero strategy , we ’ ve installed nearly 3000 solar panels on the roof , built an electric charging station next to the paddock and are using hydrotreated vegetable oil ( HVO ) to run all our on-site generators . These are just a few of the many initiatives we ’ re undertaking on our journey to net zero .
We hope you all enjoy a weekend to remember at the home of British motorsport .
