Silverstone Circuit could have a new name this summer. No, not a branding exercise or title sponsorship deal, but it has diversified as the perfect location for Hollywood to base itself in the United Kingdom. That’s right: Silverstone Studios is here.

For eight weeks prior to the British Grand Prix, the venue had become the base for the as-yet-untitled Formula 1 film that is being directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman. There are so many others involved, but that trio – along with writer Ehren Kruger – all worked on Top Gun: Maverick together. That should tell you all you need to know about the level of production that is being attempted.

The APXGP cars have already run at multiple F1 races, including the Italian GP at Monza
