THE circuit - silverstone
Silverstone is a high-speed circuit with several famous fast corners which place big demands on tyre casings.
Finely-tuned aerodynamics are essential. Tyre-wear is medium-to-high and asymmetrical, while grip levels are quite low.
Rain can never be ruled out and temperatures are rarely very high.

Endurance Racing Programme Manager, Michelin Motorsport
“Silverstone has roughly the same number of right and left turns [10 and 8], but the demands they place on the tyres’ right and left
sides are very different. Practically all the fast corners, which are especially hard on tyres, are right-handers. We consequently recommend an asymmetric car set-up, especially their camber. Depending on the weather and what we see in free practice, we may even envisage the use of different types of tyre either side of the car. We will pay careful
attention to the degree and type of wear because the new tyre regulations mean the LMP1 cars will systematically need to double stint, and the LM GTE Pro cars will need to do the same for two-thirds of the race. On top of that, the weather can be quite changeable at Silverstone – free practice 3 was even cancelled due to snow last year!”
"ON TOP OF THAT, THE WEATHER CAN BE
QUITE CHANGEABLE AT SILVERSTONE – FREE
PRACTICE 3 WAS EVEN CANCELLED DUE TO SNOW LAST YEAR!"
