On the manicured lawns of an English stately home, the tranquil sophistication of a summer garden party is shattered by a piercing wail as a Formula One car screeches up the front drive, wreathed in tyre smoke. It’s an unforgettable experience: a visceral assault on the senses; an intoxicating display of speed and power; a unique joining of the past, present and future of automotive.

Beginning at the Startline, up past the House, through Molecomb Corner, brushing past the Flint Wall and into the Top Paddock, there’s no shortage of action at your fingertips.

3. Central Feature
One of biggest kept secrets, the Central Feature, will this year celebrate the iconic Norfolk brand, Lotus, best known for its pioneering road and race cars.
Lotus was last selected as the Central Feature marque in 2012, with a 3D infinity loop sculpture that celebrated the singularity of purpose of a Lotus race car. However, this year’s sculpture will take a new immersive direction, set to be more interactive that ever before, even for those joining from home!
4. First Glance Paddock
The go-to place to see the latest vehicles from the automotive world. With many cars under tight wraps ahead of the Festival, visiting the First Glance Paddock is essential to see what the future of the motoring industry has in store.

You see more motorsport in four days than you could see if you travelled the whole world with a grand prix team and watched all the grands prix. It’s more fun, it’s faster, it’s better.
It's the most special weekend for motorsport ever. Grand Prixs are spectacular, but this is just a stand out event.
