August 31stSilverstone Circuit

Grand Prix racing at SilverstoneThis is the seventh year that Silverstone has hosted a grand prix since motorcycle world championship racing

returned to the circuit in 2010 after a gap of 23 years. Below are some facts and statistics related to this event:

The first motorcycle grand prix event to be held at Silverstone in 1977 was also the first motorcycle grand prix to be held on the British mainland; prior to 1977 the British round of the world championship had been held since 1949 on the 37.73 mile long Isle of Man TT circuit. The move from the Isle of Man was made mainly for reasons of rider safety. The winners at that first grand prix at Silverstone in 1977 were: 500cc - Pat Hennen (Suzuki), 350cc & 250cc - Kork Ballington (Yamaha), 125cc - Pierluigi Conforti (Morbidelli).The original circuit layout used for the grand prix from 1977 to 1986 was 2.93 miles long (4.71 km) and the fastest lap in a race at the circuit during this time was set by Kenny Roberts riding a Yamaha in 1983 at an average speed of 119.5 mph (192.2 km/h).The British grand prix was held for ten successive years at the Silverstone circuit, before the event moved to Donington Park in 1987. The British GP returned to Silverstone in 2010 with a revised circuit layout measuring 5.9 km.Kork Ballington and Angel Nieto are the two riders with most GP victories at Silverstone, each having won there on six occasions.The only two riders who have had more than a single victory at Silverstone since GP racing returned to the circuit in 2010 are Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez. Lorenzo has won the MotoGP race there three times: 2010, 2012 & 2013; Marquez won the 125cc race in 2010 and the MotoGP race in 2014.Since the world championship grand prix series returned to Silverstone in 2010, the best results for British riders in the MotoGP class at their home grand prix is 6th - for Cal Crutchlow in 2012 and for Scott Redding last year.Yamaha have won four of the six MotoGP races that have taken place at Silverstone, with Honda taking the other two victories.The only podium finishes for Ducati at Silverstone came last year - second place finish for Danilo Petrucci and third for Andrea Dovizioso. The best MotoGP result for Suzuki at Silverstone is 5th with Alvaro Bautista in 2011.Three British riders have won a solo grand prix race at Silverstone; Danny Kent won the Moto3 race last year, Scott Redding won the Moto2 race in 2013 and Ian McConnachie won in the 80cc class in 1986.Only two British riders have started from pole at Silverstone, across all solo GP classes; Barry Sheene in the 500cc class in 1977 and Sam Lowes in Moto2 last year.

Cal Crutchlow ends thirty five year waitCal Crutchlow’s maiden MotoGP win at Brno, the first in the premier-class by a British rider for thirty five years, is

one for the record books:

The last British rider to win a premier-class grand prix was Barry Sheene riding a Yamaha in the 500cc Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp on 16th August 1981.Barry Sheene’s win Sweden was the 300th 500cc race that had taken place and was the 138th premier-class victory for British riders. Since Sheene’s win there had been 532 successive premier-class races without a British winner before Crutchlow’s win in Brno.At the age of 30 years 297 days he is the oldest rider to take his maiden win in the MotoGP class since Troy Bayliss at the final race of 2006 in Valencia.Crutchlow is the first British rider to win a premier-class GP race riding a Honda since Mike Hailwood won the Canadian 500cc Grand Prix in 1967.The win at Brno was the 10th MotoGP podium for Crutchlow, which is the greatest number of premier-class podium finishes for any British rider since Barry Sheene.Crutchlow is just the sixth rider to win a MotoGP race having never competed full-time in any of the smaller classes of grand prix racing, joining: Nicky Hayden, Makoto Tamada, Troy Bayliss, Chris Vermeulen and Ben Spies.Crutchlow is the 17th rider to win in both the premier-class of grand prix racing and in the WSBK championship

Great day for British riders at BrnoIn addition to Cal Crutchlow’s historic win in the MotoGP race, it was a great day for British riders at the Czech grand

prix, with a number of long standing records re-written:

John McPhee won for the first time in the Moto3 class in what was his 76th grand prix start (Seventy two in the Moto3 class plus four in the 125cc class).This was also the first grand prix win for the Peugeot badged Mahindra machine.McPhee was the first British rider to win a grand prix at Brno since John Newbold won the 500cc race around the old Brno road circuit in 1976.It was only the second time since 1977 that two British rider have won solo grand prix races on the same day - the other occasions was at Austin last year when Sam Lowes won in Moto2 and Danny Kent in Moto3.It is the first time since 1976 that two British riders have taken their maiden grand prix victory in the same season.British riders have now won a race in each of the three classes this year. The last time that British riders won at least one races in the equivalent of the three current classes in the same season was 1973, when Phil Read won four times in the 500cc class, Charlie Williams won in the 250cc class and both Chas Mortimer and Tommy Robb won one race each in the 125cc class.With Sam Lowes finishing third in the Moto2 race it is only the second time since 1978 that Britain had at least one podium finisher in all three classes on the same day - the other time was in Argentina last year.It is the first time since 1976 that Britain have had three different grand prix winners in a single season.

Great variety of race winners across all classesThe 2016 season has seen many different riders winning in all three classes on a scale not seen for a number of years:

There have been six different MotoGP winners already in 2016 and with seven races of the season still to come it is already the greatest number of different winners in a single season in the MotoGP class since 2006 when there were seven different race winners.The last six races in the MotoGP class have been won by six different riders. The last time that there has been a sequence of six races won by different riders was at the end of 2006 and the first race of 2007: Valentino Rossi, Marco Melandri, Loris Capirossi, Toni Elias, Troy Bayliss and Casey Stoner. The longest ever sequence of different winners in the premier-class was in 1999/2000 when there was a seven different winners in seven races: Alex Criville, Regis Laconi, Taddy Okada, Max Biaggi, Norick Abe, Kenny Roberts and Garry McCoy.Together with Jack Miller’s victory at the Dutch TT and Andrea Iannone’s in Austria there have been three first time winners in the MotoGP class in 2016. The last year in which there were three first time winners in a single season was in 2006 with Dani Pedrosa, Toni Elias and Troy Bayliss.Both Jack Miller and Cal Crutchlow have won in 2016 riding for Independent Teams. The last time that two riders from non-factory teams won in the same season was in 2006 with Marco Melandri and Toni Elias.At the Czech grand prix Jonas Folger won for the first time in 2016, making it six different winners in the first eleven Moto2 races of the year.The six different winners in the Moto2 class represent six different nations: Switzerland, France, Spain, Great Britain, Japan and Germany.At Brno John McPhee became the eighth different winner in the Moto3 class this year.

Grand Prix racing numbers250 - At the British Grand Prix Valentino Rossi is scheduled to become the first rider to reach the milestone of 250 starts in the MotoGP class. Since MotoGP replaced the 500cc category as the premier-class of grand prix racing in 2002 Rossi has only missed four races, all due to injuries received in a crash during practice at the Italian GP in 2010, which resulted in him missing that race as well as the British GP, Dutch TT and Catalan GP.

150 - At Silverstone Jorge Lorenzo is schedule to become the seventh rider to reach the milestone of 150 starts in the MotoGP class since it was introduced in 2002 as the premier-class of grand prix racing. Other riders who have passed this milestone are: Valentino Rossi (249 MotoGP starts), Nicky Hayden (216), Colin Edwards (196), Dani Pedrosa (177), Loris Capirossi (158), Andrea Dovizioso (153).
