As work on Silverstone's new 'Wing' pit complex nears completion ready for its official opening next month, AUTOSPORT was invited on a guided tour of the 16,500 square-metre, £27m facility.
The circuit's managing director Richard Phillips explains why he believes the new pit and paddock will put Silverstone right up there with the very best venues in the world, and why this is only the beginning of a larger plan to redevelop the home of the British Grand Prix for years to come.
