About This Event

The World Endurance Championship comes back to Silverstone in 2027 with a six hour race on the full 5.891 km Grand Prix circuit. Hypercars and LMGT3 cars share the 18 corner lap at the home of the British Grand Prix.

1What to Expect

Round 3 of nine in the 2027 championship, and the WEC's return to Silverstone.
Hypercar prototypes and LMGT3 cars race together in one race, each class chasing its own win, so there is a fight somewhere on the lap for the whole six hours.
Three days: two free practice sessions on Friday 23 April, final practice, qualifying and the Hyperpole shootouts on Saturday 24 April, and the race on Sunday 25 April.
The Grand Prix circuit is 5.891 km with 18 corners.

2Best Way to Experience It

  • Friday tickets are £35, Saturday £50, Sunday £70 and the full weekend £95 (2027). Friday is practice only, Saturday adds qualifying and Hyperpole, and Sunday is the race.
  • A pit lane walk and paddock access upgrade is added when booking.
