A Drive to Remember

Imagine yourself gliding along the same asphalt that Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris once mastered, but this time, state-of-the-art installations actually respond to your car in real time, illuminating your route. Elevate your sensory experience beyond simple sightseeing with a carefully selected soundtrack, featuring everything from party favourites to racing-inspired anthems brought to you by Elf FM.

Why Lap of Lights Stands Out

Legendary Location: Silverstone isn’t just an F1 track—it’s a UK motorsport icon, originally built on the site of RAF Silverstone and steeped in history since its first race in 1947.

Sensory Immersion: With lights choreographed to motion and Elf FM’s eclectic playlist, every second behind the wheel becomes a spectacle.

Family-Friendly: Whether you’re cruising the lap with little ones aboard or building festive memories on ice, this experience caters to all ages.

Weather-Proof Fun: The lap is taken entirely in your vehicle, making it a weather-resistant outing—even a drizzle won’t dim the magic.

Lasting Memories: Silverstone’s glow, the ice rink’s glide, and the seasonal ambience combine to offer a festive outing you and your family will reminisce about for years.

Add Ice Trak Fun to Your Lap

Why stop at four wheels? If you want to extend your holiday fun, you can go to Ice Trak, where Silverstone’s large garages are magically turned into outdoor ice skating rinks. Kids and adults of all ages can put on shoes and glide past the pit lane. This is a great way to combine two unforgettable experiences in one trip.

Delicious Festive Fare and Exclusive Offers

When it’s time to refuel, head to the food quarter brimming with festive favourites—there’s something to please every palate and every member of the family

To keep the festive cheer glowing even after leaving the track, a 10 % discount is available on stays at the charming trackside hotel Escapade, redeemable via a link included in your booking confirmation
