Silverstone is undeniably one of the most classic racing circuits in Formula 1, thanks to its high-speed twisty and curvy sections of corners that add an element of excitement and thrill for the spectators.

In a bid to add more beauty to this famous circuit, the owners introduced colorful lights focusing on the tarmac a few years ago. In 2020, the organizers went up a notch and introduced what eventually became a world-famous light show called the ‘Lap of Lights’.

We’ve often witnessed the Silverstone circuit under daylight during Grand Prix events, but, interestingly, as the sun goes down, the entire circuit only lights up even brighter.

Fans are allowed to drive through the ring at a certain speed limit, enjoying the beautiful lighting show that takes place around them.

With Christmas inching closer, Silverstone is turning more dynamic than ever, thanks to the vibrant color and laser show that happens occasionally over a calendar year.

Hence, here’s a picture that surfaced on social media depicting the recently named ‘Hamilton’ straight absolutely drenched in Blue lights.

The circuit does look prestigious right now, and what a turnaround this has been! From suffering a massive financial downfall in 2020 to finding themselves back on the feet in a span of 1 year, the owners have made sure that Silverstone continues to play a pivotal role in Formula 1.
