The Cheapest Way to Drive Silverstone Is Back at TRAX
For most enthusiasts, driving on the same tarmac that has hosted generations of Formula 1 legends remains firmly on the bucket list. The reality is that track days at Britain’s most famous circuit can often come with a hefty price tag. That’s why we’re excited to confirm that track sessions are once again available at TRAX on Sunday, August 16, offering what is arguably the most affordable way to experience the legendary Silverstone Circuit for yourself.
As part of TRAX 2026, visitors can take their own cars out onto one of the world’s most iconic racing venues and experience the thrill of driving the home of British motorsport. Whether you’re a seasoned track-day regular or someone looking to tick Silverstone off your automotive bucket list for the very first time, our public and club track sessions provide an accessible route onto a circuit synonymous with speed, history and Formula 1 greatness.
Working alongside our valued track partner BILSTEIN, we’ve once again created a programme that gives enthusiasts the chance to enjoy genuine circuit action without the premium costs normally associated with driving at Silverstone. With session priced at £40, there are very few opportunities anywhere in the UK that allow drivers to sample a world-famous Formula 1 venue for such incredible value. For more info click here.
Of course, the experience isn’t just about getting out on track. One of the unique things about TRAX is that the action never stops. Throughout the day, the circuit timetable has been packed with entertainment, meaning there’s always something happening while drivers wait for their next session. Fans can enjoy the spectacular Drift Kings demonstrations, where some of the UK’s most talented drifters will be putting on tyre-smoking displays guaranteed to keep spectators glued to the barriers. The controlled chaos, precision car control and wall-to-wall smoke have become one of the signature attractions of the event and remain a favourite among visitors year after year.
Adding even more excitement to the schedule will be the Half Time Hall of Famers lunchtime demonstration, bringing together some truly special machinery for a memorable midday showcase. It’s the perfect chance to take a break from the paddock, grab a bite to eat and enjoy some automotive theatre from a collection of standout vehicles.
The programme is rounded off with a dedicated motorsport demonstration session, giving visitors an up-close look at competition machinery being driven as intended. From race-prepared performance cars to purpose-built motorsport equipment, it’s another reminder that TRAX remains one of the most action-packed performance car events in the country.
Away from the circuit, visitors can also explore thousands of display vehicles, club stands, exhibitors and attractions that make TRAX a true celebration of performance car culture. But for many enthusiasts, the opportunity to drive Silverstone themselves will be the headline attraction. There’s something special about exiting the pit lane, building speed and knowing you’re following in the tyre tracks of Formula 1 world champions. If you’ve ever wanted to experience the thrill of driving at Silverstone without spending a fortune, this is your chance.
Track sessions at TRAX take place on Sunday, August 16 from 9am to 5:20pm and will use Silverstone’s National Circuit layout
