Go-ahead for races will be subject to government approval Meetings due to be held on 26 July and 2 AugustSilverstone has concluded an agreement with
Formula One to host two grands prix behind closed doors this year. It is understood there had been disagreement between organisers and F1 over the appropriate level of financial recompense to meet the circuit’s costs. But they have now reached a deal and, subject to government restrictions, will host back‑to‑back races at the end of July and early August.
Silverstone has been clear it was willing to host the races, one of which would be the
British Grand Prix, but that without fans to meet costs it required an acceptable commercial arrangement.
