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.
