It hosted the first race in the Formula One World Championship in 1950, and today our virtual recreation of the modern Silverstone Circuit is available free for those who have already purchased.

The circuit features a 3.66-mile, 10-turn Arena Grand Prix Circuit that first saw racing in 2010, and is the venue for the 2013 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX this weekend. It will match up well with the Grand Prix and GT cars already available in rFactor 2, along with a British Touring Car currently in production.


“We’re excited about the release of Silverstone for rFactor 2. The guys at ISI have done an excellent job recreating both the track model and even trackside atmosphere down to the smallest detail” said Thomas Richmond, Commercial Rights Manager at Silverstone Circuit.


“We’re also very interested to see how rFactor 2 racers cope with a changeable racing surface, different lighting conditions, and the virtual British weather, too!”


Tim Wheatley of Image Space Incorporated, noted that today’s release marks a turning point in the development of rFactor 2, seeing a major step forward in the techniques the track builders at the company have used, and after focusing early on with implementation of realistic physics, the graphical possibilities now available to modders through recent updates to the core software.


“I am also extremely pleased to have negotiated a way for Silverstone to be used commercially. After licensing rFactor 2 for their sim center or event, people can also use Silverstone commercially as long as they license the track itself with the Circuit directly” said Wheatley. “We know a lot of simulator operators both in the UK and internationally can make good use of it!”

Commercial usage:
Note that like our software (and it's always been like this), Silverstone cannot be used commercially without licensing it from them (and our software from us). I'm mentioning it specifically on every official Silverstone page, because it's part of our agreement with them.

Notes: There's a couple of holes in the world off the racing surface that we held on fixing to give you more time with the track this weekend. On the right going into the National pit lane, and the left wall of the bridge on Hangar Straight (I think...). If you hit one, you will 'drop' through the ground and be placed in your pit stall. These will of course be fixed in the future update, along with anything else you find.
 
Yeahhhhh :cool::cool::cool::p
