Is This the Oldest Race in the World? TeamSport Celebrates 75 Years of F1 at Silverstone with a Grand Prix Like No Other!

At TeamSport Indoor Karting, we believe that motorsport is for everyone, and we’ve showcased this in spectacular fashion. To celebrate 75 years of Formula 1 at Silverstone, we organised a unique event: a high-octane mini grand prix featuring five racers aged between 70 and 79.

With an average age of 75, this race mirrored Silverstone’s own 75th anniversary, serving as a fitting tribute to the birthplace of F1 and a celebration of how far the sport has come.

The racers combined age of 373 years and 272 years of driving experience, this wasn’t just a race; it was a rolling tribute to a lifetime of speed, competition, and pure racing joy that spans across all generations.

The video titled "Is This the Oldest Race in the World?" captures the essence of racing in its realest form: passion, thrill, and a touch of friendly rivalry. These seasoned drivers raced wheel-to-wheel on our indoor circuit, proving that age is just a number when it comes to the love of racing.

However, this isn’t just a nod to the past; it’s a message for the future. At TeamSport, indoor karting is open to everyone aged 8 and up. Whether you’re a first-time driver or a lifelong motorsport fan, our tracks are the perfect place to experience that adrenaline rush. Families, friends, corporate teams, birthday parties, and even retirees all find their racing spirit here.

So, whether you dream of being on the F1 grid or just want to settle some friendly scores on the track, come and experience the thrill for yourself!
