Looking for a summertime getaway with a difference? Opt for unrivalled speeds, thrilling competition and a buzz of excitement unlike any other - visit Silverstone's British Grand Prix this July.

Silverstone - originally a World War II airfield - is now recognised as one of the world's most famous motor-sport venues. Whilst it is both the birth place of British motor-sport and home of the British Grand Prix - a leading race in the F1 calendar - Silverstone is also one of the fastest circuits in the world - boasting speeds of over 180 mph!

Since 1948, crowds have flocked to Silverstone to witness its renowned motor racing events - and it's not hard to recognize reasons behind its acclaim. Silverstone's events - particularly the British Grand Prix - have long offered motor-sports enthusiasts a fantastic way to experience the exciting sport of motor racing, in one of the most iconic racing arenas in the world. And almost six decades later, the tradition continues. Motor-sport enthusiasts and adrenaline addicts alike can still experience the thrill that's at the heart of Silverstone, with the upcoming British Grand Prix in July.

While at the British Grand Prix, you'll be able to cheer on your favourite motor-sport racers, all the while experiencing the electric atmosphere of the Silverstone venue. And rest assured that the event will offer a perfect short break opportunity, whether you're planning to travel with friends, family or on your own.

However, given the popularity of this motor-sports event, your best option might be to book an all-inclusive travel package. Booking a short break package ensures entry into the event - something which might not always be guaranteed if you're attempting to book tickets separately. That's because while entry passes into major events can sell out quickly, tickets are still usually available through overnight or weekend-stay hotel and events packages. Travel packages offer value deals to Britain's Grand Prix event, meaning no one will have to miss out on the sporting fun this summer.

If you're planning a trip to see the British Grand Prix this July, you'll find a range of short break packages inclusive of entry into the event and accommodation in a hotel near Silverstone - so arranging the two most important aspects of your trip is easy. You can also usually arrange coach transfer between the hotel and the Grand Prix event within your travel package, making your sporting break in Silverstone all the more enjoyable.

So take those fast corners to fun this summer, and snatch up a short break package to the British Grand Prix - the rush awaits you in Silverstone!
