Event Statistics

Description

The 2026 Silverstone 500 served as the high-stakes opening round of the British GT Championship from 24–26 April 2026. It marked the first time since 2001 that the Silverstone Circuit hosted the season-opening race. The grueling three-hour endurance epic featured a grid of 28 cars across the GT3 and GT4 tiers, shaped heavily by safety cars and critical pitstop strategies.
Multiple on-track incidents shook up the order, including a costly turn-one collision between the two 2 Seas Motorsport Mercedes and an engine failure for the Barwell Motorsport Lamborghini driven by Rob Collard and Hugo Cook.
