British Motorcycle Grand Prix 2025

The British MotoGP 2025 is set to roar into Silverstone Circuit from May 23 to 25, and if you’re a fan of speed, precision, and world-class racing, this one’s for you. The British Motorcycle Grand Prix is one of the crown jewels of the MotoGP™ World Championship, and this year’s edition is pulling out all the stops.

If you’re watching from the Hamilton Straight, checking out the paddock tours, or cheering from General Admission hillsides, you’re in for a wild weekend of high-octane action and British motorsport tradition.

History of the British Grand Prix

The British Motorcycle Grand Prix kicked off in 1977, taking over from the legendary Isle of Man TT. Since then, it’s made a name for itself as one of the most iconic stops on the MotoGP calendar. The race moved from Silverstone to Donington Park from 1987 to 2009, but returned to Silverstone in 2010 – where it’s stayed ever since.

Silverstone Circuit itself is steeped in history, originally an RAF airfield and now one of the world’s premier racing venues. The track is nearly 6 km long and features legendary corners like Maggotts, Becketts, and the high-speed Stowe. Moto legends like Valentino Rossi and Marc Márquez have all left their marks here.

How to Get to Silverstone

Silverstone Circuit is located in the heart of Northamptonshire, about two hours northwest of London. It’s tucked between rolling fields, but don’t worry – it’s well-connected for race weekend.

• By car: If you’re driving, pre-book your parking pass early. Spaces fill up fast, and delays are common, especially on race day. Leave plenty of buffer time and follow event signage once you're near the circuit.
• By train: Head to Milton Keynes Central or Northampton station – both offer frequent services from London Euston. From there, official event shuttles run to the circuit and drop you close to the action.
• By coach: National Express and other services run direct routes from major UK cities. These are a great stress-free option if you’d rather skip the car altogether.
• Flying in? Both London Heathrow and Luton Airport are under 90 minutes away by car. You can rent a car, grab a taxi, or connect via rail and shuttle.

Pro tip: Silverstone posts real-time travel alerts and maps for major race weekends. Before you leave, check their official travel info page to avoid last-minute detours or delays.

• Explore the fan zones – There’s more than just racing. Grab merch, catch live interviews, test your reflexes on a simulator, or just enjoy the buzz.
• Study the circuit – Silverstone is legendary, but it’s even better when you know your Becketts from your Brooklands. Get familiar with the layout to follow every lap like a pro.
